Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying textual statement relationships, the method comprising: identifying a textual statement pair that includes a first textual statement and a second textual statement, the first textual statement comprising a first set of words and the second textual statement comprising a second set of words; removing, by a pre-processing module, non-alpha numeric characters from the first textual statement and the second textual statement; communicating, by the pre-processing module, the pre-processed first textual statement and second textual statement to a processor; extracting, by the processor, a first parsed word group from the first textual statement and a second parsed word group from the second textual statement, wherein each parsed word group is a verb-object-preposition (VOP) triple including a verb, an object, and a preposition from each respective textual statement; comparing, for the textual statement pair, the first parsed word group and the second parsed word group; and calculating, through the use of the processor, a parsed word score for the textual statement pair, wherein the parsed word score is based on the comparison of the first parsed word group and the second parsed word group; determining a match score for the textual statement pair based on the parsed word score wherein calculating the parsed word score for the textual statement pair comprises: generating, by the processor, a user interface configured to depict one or more first textual statements and one or more second textual statements along with one or more match indicators that visually indicate a match between one or more of the first textual statements and one or more of the second textual statements; communicating, by a graphics processor in communication with the processor and a display the generated user interface to thereby cause the display to visually display the generated user interface.
