Patent attributes
The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for classifying a set of data values. For each of the data values of the set of data values, a set of one or more terms associated with the respective data value is determined using one or more first knowledge bases. A set of common terms is determined. The set of common terms comprises terms present in more than one of the sets of terms. For each of the common terms, a number of hits for a lookup query against one or more second knowledge data bases is determined. One or more common terms of the set of common terms with the smallest number of hits are determined and a result is returned. The result comprises the one or more common terms with the smallest number of hits as one or more candidate classes for classifying the set of data values.
