Apparatus and Method for Combining Free-Text and Extracted Numerical Data for Predictive Modeling with Explanations

摘要

Apparatus and method to combine unstructured free text with structured data to make predictive modeling easier and better. Structured data is received from applying an extractor to the unstructured free text or from a database query of a related database. This permits unstructured model-building to be used when data also comes from structured data, also facilitating explanations of inferences based upon both unstructured and structured key passages.
