• New analysis module by « Key Concepts »

• « Key Concepts » :

• extracted from full text

• using highly advanced tools

• with syntaxic & semantic normalization

• each Key Concept is « scored »

ENHANCEMENTS : ANALYSISENHANCEMENTS : ANALYSIS

• Score calculation based on:

� Occurrences of the concept in the doc

� Fields where the concepts appear

� Frequency of the multiword concept in the database

� Frequency of the concept words in the database

� Non-linear formula (Lingway trade secret)

� Normalized to 100 (high score)

KEY CONCEPTSKEY CONCEPTS

The bigger and the more colorful the concept, the h igher the number of families containing such concept

“Max Occ.” = filter on the max number of occurrence s of each concept

“Max year” = filter up to such application year

“Duration” = number of years covered up to the defi ned “max year”

Cursor may be moved right & left to adjust filters
