Patent ID: 8290955

Claim:
A computer implemented method for classifying data objects arranged in one or more nodes of a hierarchical data structure, the method comprising: receiving a selection of a first data classification from a plurality of predefined data classifications; for each node of the hierarchical data structure, determining a probability that the node comprises one or more unclassified data objects related to the selected first data classification, wherein the probability is determined by a first score based on a traversal distance between the node and one or more first nodes of the hierarchical data structure that are classified as the first data classification, wherein the one or more first nodes are sub-nodes of the node, and wherein determining the first score comprises: determining a dividend by dividing a number of the one or more first nodes by a total number of sub-nodes of the node; and dividing the dividend by the traversal distance between the node and the one or more first nodes; and displaying the determined probability of each node in a graphical user interface (GUI).
