Abstract

Systems and methods for examining text, such as incident reports, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes specifying a client profile including at least one scenario of interest, the scenario of interest being formulated in an event calculus formalism; analyzing a portion of text for relevant information at least partially described by the scenario of interest; detecting relevant information including detecting a positive match between at least part of information relevant to the scenario of interest and at least part of the portion of text being analyzed; upon detecting such relevant information, extracting the relevant information; representing the extracted relevant information in the event calculus formalism; and performing an inference process on the extracted relevant information represented in the event calculus formalism.
