Abstract

A method for a computer system includes receiving an input source comprising a plurality of sentences, determining a set of semiotic relationships from the plurality of sentences, performing a contextual correlation in response to the set of semiotic relationships and in response to an ideas index to determine a reduced set of semiotic relationships from the set of semiotic relationships, omparing the reduced set of semiotic relationships to each of a plurality of semiotic relationships associated with a set of documents to determine comparison values, determining a reduced set of documents from the set of documents in response to the comparison values, and outputting portions of the reduced set of documents to a user.
