Summary

The Near Unordered Across Phrases In Document Context looks for facts and / or anchors each in different phrases in the same document where those phrases are unordered and separated by at most a specified number of words, which is set by the near count metadata.

Usage notes

The count on this extractor refers to the number of tokens (that is, words, and, if you choose to not ignore punctuation, punctuation marks as well) between the words (that is, phrase ranges) that each independently contain an anchor or a fact within the single document. That is, phrase ranges are enforced to be non-overlapping.

Example model and tests

For an example model of this context extracting facts, please go to the near_unordered_contexts page. The example given there can be applied to phrases, sentences or paragraphs equally.

Positive test content

A near unordered across phrases in document fact, with child concept facts of ‘apple’ and ‘pear’ and a near count set to ‘3’ will fire for both:

apple and pear stew

and
pear and apple pie

Negative test content

A near unordered across phrases in document fact, with child concept facts of ‘apple’ and ‘pear’ and a near count set to ‘3’ will not fire for either:

Apple and some more words here pear stew

nor
Pear and yet more words here apple pie
