Patent attributes
A computer system and method for automated discovery of topic relatedness are disclosed. According to an embodiment, topics within documents from a corpus may be discovered by applying multiple topic identification (ID) models, such as multi-component latent Dirichlet allocation (MC-LDA) or similar methods. Each topic model may differ in a number of topics. Discovered topics may be linked to the associated document. Relatedness between discovered topics may be determined by analyzing co-occurring topic IDs from the different models, assigning topic relatedness scores, where related topics may be used for matching/linking a feature of interest. The disclosed method may have an increased disambiguation precision, and may allow the matching and linking of documents using the discovered relationships.
