Omission Detection

Abstract

Omission Detection measures what is missing in a document, message, or file, and can perform this measurement for a single document, multiple documents, and even an entire repository.

1 . A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for measuring word object omissions in a document, the computer program product comprising:
 code for locating a plurality of word objects within a document, the plurality of word objects comprising a first word object;   code for determining a coverage length for each of the plurality of word objects, the coverage length for each of the plurality of word objects comprising a first coverage length for the first word object;   code for calculating a plurality of object characteristics, the plurality of object characteristics comprising a first object characteristic of the first word object;   code for calculating a document characteristic for the document; and   code for determining at least one word object omission of the first word object from the document using the first coverage length, the first object characteristic, and the document characteristic for the document, wherein the code for determining at least one word object omission is operative to determine the one word object omission using only the document.   
     
     
         2 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 code for determining modifiers, each of the modifiers being associated with at least one of the plurality of word objects.   
     
     
         3 . The computer program product of  claim 2 , wherein the code for determining modifiers determines a plurality of modifiers for each of the plurality of word objects. 
     
     
         4 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein a first coverage of the first word object overlaps a second coverage of a second word object of the plurality of word objects. 
     
     
         5 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the code for calculating the plurality of object characteristics calculates at least one object characteristic for each of the plurality of word objects. 
     
     
         6 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 code for modifying the document to include information to resolve the at least one word object omission from other information sources.   
     
     
         7 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 code for notifying a user of the document of the at least one word object omission.   
     
     
         8 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the document characteristic comprises a length of the document. 
     
     
         9 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , wherein the length of the document is determined in a number of term units. 
     
     
         10 . The computer program product of  claim 8 , wherein the document characteristic comprises a percentage of a coverage of each of the plurality of word objects in the document. 
     
     
         11 . The computer program product of  claim 1 , wherein the document characteristic comprises an indication of coverage of the plurality of word objects relative to a length of the document. 
     
     
         12 . A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for measuring word object omissions in a document, the computer program product comprising:
 code for locating a plurality of word objects within a document, the plurality of word objects comprising a first word object;   code for determining a plurality of modifiers, each of the plurality of modifiers being associated with at least one of the plurality of word objects, the plurality of modifiers comprising a first modifier for the first word object;   code for determining a coverage length for each of the plurality of word objects, the coverage length for each of the plurality of word objects comprising a first coverage length for the first word object;   code for calculating a plurality of object characteristics, the plurality of object characteristics comprising a first object characteristic of the first word object;   code for calculating a document characteristic for the document; and   code for determining at least one word object omission of the first word object from the document using the first modifier, the first coverage length, the first object characteristic, and the document characteristic for the document, wherein the code for determining at least one word object omission is operative to determine the one word object omission using only the document.   
     
     
         13 . The computer program product of  claim 12 , wherein the code for determining modifiers determines a plurality of modifiers for each of the plurality of word objects. 
     
     
         14 . The computer program product of  claim 12 , wherein a first coverage of the first word object overlaps a second coverage of a second word object of the plurality of word objects. 
     
     
         15 . The computer program product of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 code for modifying the document to include information to resolve the at least one word object omission from other information sources.   
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 code for notifying a user of the document of the at least one word object omission.   
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 12 , wherein the document characteristic comprises a length of the document. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 17 , wherein the length of the document is determined in a number of term units. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 17 , wherein the document characteristic comprises a percentage of a coverage of each of the plurality of word objects in the document. 
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 12 , wherein the document characteristic comprises an indication of coverage of the plurality of word objects relative to a length of the document.
