A system and method for searching documents in a data source and more particularly, to a system and method for analyzing and clustering of documents for a search engine. The system and method includes analyzing and processing documents to secure the infrastructure and standards for optimal document processing. By incorporating Computational Intelligence (CI) and statistical methods, the document information is analyzed and clustered using novel techniques for knowledge extraction. A comprehensive dictionary is built based on the keywords identified by the these techniques from the entire text of the document. The text is parsed for keywords or the number of its occurrences and the context in which the word appears in the documents. The whole document is identified by the knowledge that is represented in its contents. Based on such knowledge extracted from all the documents, the documents are clustered into meaningful groups in a catalog tree. The results of document analysis and clustering information are stored in a database.

A method for real-time exploitation of documents in non-English languages includes processing an input document in into a processed input document, extracting ontology elements from the processed input document to obtain a document digest (DD), statistically scoring each DD to obtain a DD with category scores, refining the DD and the category scores to obtain a summary of each document in the form of a refined DD with refined category scores. The summary allows a user to estimate in real-time if the input document warrants added attention.

A method, system, and computer program product for selectively encrypting one or more elements of a document using style sheet processing. Disclosed is a policy-driven augmented style sheet processor (e.g. an Extensible Stylesheet Language, or “XSL”, processor) that creates a selectively-encrypted document (e.g. an Extensible Markup Language, or “XML”, document) carrying key-distribution material, such that by using an augmented document processor (e.g. an augmented XML processing engine), an agent can recover only the information elements for which it is authorized. The Document Type Definition (DTD) or schema associated with a document is modified, such that the DTD or schema specifies a reference to stored security policy to be applied to document elements. Each document element may specify a different security policy, such that the different elements of a single document can be encrypted differently (and, some elements may remain unencrypted). The key distribution material enables a document to be encrypted for decryption by an audience that is unknown at the time of document creation, and enables access to the distinct elements of a single encrypted document to be controlled for multiple users and/or groups of users. In this manner, group collaboration is improved by giving more people easier access to information for which they are authorized, while protecting sensitive data from unauthorized agents. A key recovery technique is also defined, whereby the entire document can be decrypted by an authorized agent regardless of how the different elements were originally encrypted and the access protections which were applied to those elements.

In a document processing apparatus, a first character information extracting unit extracts, for a first area that is an area determined to be a character extractable area in divided areas of a document information, first character information from the area; a second character information extracting unit extracts, for a second area that is an area not determined to be the character extractable area in the divided areas, a character code by performing a character recognition processing on a document image generated from the document information as second character information; and a storing unit stores therein the first character information, the second character information, and at least one of the document information and the document image in association with each other.

A target document (25) is generated by merging four source documents (2-5). There are three merge operations, an operation (10) for two source documents (2, 13), an operation (13) for an intermediate target document and a source document (4), and an operation (21) for a second intermediate target document and a final source document (5). In each merge operation one source document inherits from the other. An inheriting instruction is embedded within the inheriting document. Merging is performed by parsing a document (6, 8, 11, 20) into a hierarchical tree if it is not already in that form, and merging the trees. Matching nodes are identified and are combined or replaced according to a policy.

A method of processing barcoded tickets in a document processing device including receiving a stack of barcoded tickets in an input receptacle of a document processing device. Each barcoded ticket includes a document-identifier or ticket number that identifies the barcoded ticket. At least one specific document-identifier is inputted by the operator to search for a specific document in a stack of documents. Each of the documents are transported, one at a time, past a detector, which detects the document-identifier of each ticket. A determination is made whether a detected document-identifier matches the specific document-identifier requested by the operator, and if so, the ticket in question is directed to a pre-programmed or user-specified output receptacle.

A document processing device having an evaluation region disposed along a transport path between an input and output receptacle capable of processing both currency bills and barcoded media having at least two barcodes. One of the barcodes encodes a ticket number and another barcode encodes a payout amount associated with that ticket number. The evaluation region includes detectors for detecting predetermined characteristics of currency bills and a barcode reader for scanning the barcodes printed on the barcoded media. A controller coupled to the evaluation region controls the operation of the document processing device and receives input from and provides information to a user via a control unit In some embodiments, the document processing device may have any number of output receptacles, and the control unit allows the user to specify which output receptacle receives which type of document An optional coin sorter may be coupled to the document processing device to allow document and coin processing The document processing device may be coupled to a network to communicate information to devices linked to the network.

An image quality assurance method for identifying image defects in a plurality of previously-imaged documents, where each previously-imaged document includes at least one image rendition stored in at least one image rendition file according to type of image rendition. The image renditions are analyzed to provide selected image metrics, the latter of which are compared against preselected image quality metric threshold values. An image quality flag is generated for any image rendition if at least one of the selected image metrics for that image rendition does not successfully compare against the preselected image quality metric threshold values. A record entry is created in an image quality flag file for those documents having at least one flagged image rendition, the record entry including information about the selected image metrics of the at least one flagged image rendition for that imaged document. Image defects in a plurality of imaged documents can be identified by examining the record entries in the image quality flag file.
