RELATIONSHIP DISCOVERY AND QUANTIFICATION

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to identifying and quantifying relationships between entities. Data sources can be queried to receive data regarding a party. Entities can be extracted from the data to receive a set of entities, wherein the party is a first entity of the set of entities. An ontological structure can be built that interrelates entities within the set of entities. An initial relationship strength can be determined between the first entity and a second entity based on co-occurrence between the first and second entities, wherein the second entity is a second party. A relationship score can be calculated between the first and second entities based on the initial relationship strength and at least one additional factor.
