CONCEPTUAL COMPARISON

This capability is at the heart of Content Analyst technology functionality. Given any arbitrary block of text (from a single word to an entire book), Content Analyst technology can automatically map that text block into an appropriate point in a conceptual representation space. It then can provide a direct measure of the conceptual similarity of any two items represented in that space.

All Content Analyst technology functions hinge on conceptual analysis and comparison capability. A wide variety of experiments have demonstrated that the Content Analyst technology representation genuinely captures conceptual content and that proximity of objects in the conceptual space is a remarkably accurate surrogate for similarity in a conceptual sense.
