Abstract:
1. A dynamic conceptual network system, comprising: a computer with a processor, said computer in communication with a distributed network; at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in communication with said computer for storing programs and information; and program instructions stored on said storage medium, said program instructions controlling at least one data agent in said distributed network; wherein said at least one data agent learns associations of natural language artifacts in unstructured data sources or semantic and syntactic relationships in structured data sources in conventional formats used by relational database systems, or both, wherein said natural language artifacts comprise at least one of words, phrases, subjects, predicates, modifiers, and other syntactic forms, and said learning associations comprise calculating co-occurrences within a semantic unit; further wherein the learned associations resulting from said learning associations of natural language artifacts are formed using grouping of one natural language artifact in an interaction window with another at least one natural language artifact in said interaction window, based on a criteria of shared features of one or more sets from said grouping constituting measurements from said data sources; further wherein said criteria of shared features are dynamically determined without the use of a priori classifications and using conditional probability constraints between sets of learned associations; and further wherein said grouping creates a network of conditional probabilities between all encountered natural language artifacts or a subset thereof, determined by consideration of conditional interaction probabilities based on a history of measurements from said data sources.
