Document ranking by progressively increasing faceted query
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is performed on a corpus using a processor and a memory to extract a set of facets corresponding to a dimension in a set of dimensions. Using a score threshold, a subset of the set of facets is selected where each facet in the set of facets has a corresponding score relative to the corpus. A subsequent query is formed by increasing a complexity of a previous query using a facet in the subset of facets. The subsequent query is executed on at least a portion of the corpus. The documents in a new result set are ranked, the new result set being in response to executing the subsequent query. An output is produced from the new result set, which includes a ranking of that subset of documents whose ranks have changed by more than a threshold rank distance from the corresponding ranks in the corpus.
