Abstract

A hierarchical dictionary having methods of storing words based on frequency thereof in one or more documents which includes the steps of identifying a hash value corresponding to an inputted word; storing the word in a first hash map and in a second hash map having a substantially larger word storage capacity than the first hash map based on the identified hash value; clearing the first hash map at every predetermined period or triggering event; determining whether a frequency of the word as stored in the second hash map exceeds a predetermined value; and if so, promoting the word from the second hash map to a third hash map having a substantially larger word storage capacity than the second hash map for long-term storage and later retrieval.
