Systems and methods for real-time determination of the semantics of a data stream

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method and method which analyzes large amounts of information on a real-time basis with no previous static data set. Attributes of the data, which can be thought of as data concepts, that are present in the data stream are detected and isolated. These concepts are referred to as clusters and are used to ultimately determine the semantics of the data stream. The streaming clusters have no “current membership” in the existing state of the clustering and thus the cluster sets, and their relationship to each other, must be generated and updated as the data is being received.
