Abstract:
1. A computerized method of representing a dataset with a taxonomy, comprising: augmenting a dataset containing a plurality of records with a plurality of predetermined exemplars; representing the plurality of records and predetermined exemplars within the augmented dataset as a plurality of clusters in an initial taxonomy layer; generating a truncated hierarchy of cluster sets based on clusters within the initial taxonomy layer, wherein clusters within the truncated hierarchy contain no more than a predetermined number of exemplars; labeling clusters within the truncated hierarchy; representing an uppermost layer of the truncated hierarchy as an intermediate taxonomy layer; generating a non-truncated hierarchy from clusters within the intermediate taxonomy layer, wherein clusters within the non-truncated hierarchy contain more than the predetermined number of exemplars; and wherein the computerized method of representing a dataset with a taxonomy occurs within a physical computer.
