ABSTRACT:
A system and method for category discovery is disclosed. The method discloses: receiving an information collection including a set of strings; identifying positively predictive pairs of strings; identifying negatively predictive pairs of strings; joining positively predictive pairs of strings into a category; and splitting negatively predictive pairs of strings into different categories. The system discloses various elements, means and instructions for performing the method.
