20090049067 | System and Method of Self-Learning Conceptual Mapping to Organize and Interpret Data - In a computer implemented method of researching textual data sources, textual data is reduced to a plurality of distinctive words based on frequency of usage within the textual data. The distinctive words are converted into first numeric representations of vectors containing random numbers. A first self-organizing map is formed from the first numeric representations and organized by similarities between the vectors. A second self-organizing map is formed from second numeric representations generated from the organization of the first self-organizing map. The second numeric representations are vectors derived from the first self-organizing map. The vectors are used to train the second self-organizing map. The vectors derived from the first self-organizing map are organized into clusters of similarities between the vectors on the second self-organizing map. Dialectic arguments are formed from the second self-organizing map to interpret the textual data. | 02-19-2009 |
