Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for performing classification of documents or performing other tasks based on rules. The rules may include context rules that define a mapping that relates a value and context in a document to an attribute to which the value corresponds. Products are selected for labeling with attributes by identifying patterns, e.g. values and contexts that are not covered by a current rule set. Those products having a highest score are selected for labeling in a crowd sourcing forum, where the score is based on the number of non-covered patterns and a frequency of occurrence of the non-covered patterns in a document corpus. Proposed rules are generated for frequently occurring patterns and submitted to analysts for one or both of completion and validation. Proposed rules may include a proposed attribute for a frequently occurring value and corresponding context.
