Abstract
A method for correlating information across distinct domains without requiring feature co-occurrence. The disparate information collections are broken down into features, and a correlation index with correlation score is created. To determine the correlation between distinct domains, an information artifact collection is reduced to a representational set of features, these features are replaced with correlated features using the correlation index, and the new set of features is matched against the second information artifact collection using an appropriate comparison technique. The correlation method allows a single input artifact to be matched against an existing collection, resulting in a set of correlated artifacts from the disparate collection, each ranked by correlation score.
