Abstract:
1. A system for analyzing electronic data records, comprising: an annotation unit operable to receive a set of electronic data records and to compute concept vectors for the set of electronic data records wherein the coordinates of the concept vectors represent scores of the concepts in the respective electronic data record and wherein the concepts are part of an ontology; a similarity network unit operable to compute a similarity network by means of the concept vectors and by at least one relationship between the concepts of the ontology, the similarity network representing similarities between the electronic data records, wherein the vertices of the similarity network represent the electronic data records and the edges of the similarity network representing similarity values indicating a degree of similarity between the vertices; and a similarity processing unit operable to compute similarities between a first set of electronic data records and a second set of electronic data records.
