Concept searching using a Boolean or keyword search engine. Documents are preprocessed before being passed to a search engine by identifying, on a word-by-word basis, the "word tokens" contained in the document. Once the word tokens have been extracted, each word token is referenced in a concept database that maps word tokens to concept identifiers. The concept identifiers associated with the word tokens are converted into unique non-word concept tokens and arranged into a list. The list is then inserted into the document as invisible but searchable text. The document is then transferred to the server monitored by the search engine. Search queries are preprocessed before being passed to the search engine in the same manner. The query is first broken into word tokens and the word tokens are then referenced in the concept database. All associated concept identifiers are retrieved and converted to unique concept tokens. The concept tokens are then combined into a string and sent to the search engine as an ordinary query.

A method and apparatus are presented for using directed reasoning to provide natural language responses to questions and commands in natural language. The directed reasoning process uses concepts in the natural language sentence to identify relevant response concepts in a knowledge base, by creating a continuous chain of logic from the input concept to the response concept and limiting the creation of the logic chains to only those consistent with the context of the natural language sentence and information in the knowledge base. The invention allows the identification of relevant concepts that elude traditional concept searching based on pattern matching, while focusing computational resources on only those logic calculations relevant to the natural language sentence and knowledge base. The invention will automatically identify the relevant source documents to use and create a knowledge base during run time, without requiring preprogrammed ontologies or knowledge bases.

To improve traditional keyword based search engines, the present inventors devised, among other things, systems, methods, and software that use word co-occurrence probabilities not only to identify documents conceptually related to user queries, but also to score and rank search results. One exemplary system combines inverse-document-frequency searching with concept searching based on word co-occurrence probabilities to facilitate finding of documents that would otherwise go unfound using a given query. The exemplary system also allows ranking of search results based both on both keyword matching and concept presence, promoting more efficient organization and review of search results.
