Abstract

Systems and methods to extract a string from a communication. A method includes: receiving a communication comprising a plurality of strings; assigning a score to each of the strings, wherein the score assigned to each of the strings corresponds to a frequency of usage of the respective string for a first function relative to an overall frequency of usage of the respective string; determining a respective total sum for each of a plurality of sequences in the communication, the respective total sum determined as a sum of the scores for each string in the respective sequence; and extracting a first sequence of the sequences from the communication based on the total sum for the first sequence. In one embodiment, the total sum includes an additional score for each of a starting word and an ending word of the first word sequence, wherein each respective additional score is associated with a probability that the starting (or ending) word is used as the first (or last word) of an address.
