PALO ALTO, Calif., July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — MetricStream, a leading provider of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Apps, announced today that it has been granted a US Patent for "System and Method for Rule Based Classification of a Text Fragment." The patent, issued on May 24, 2016, covers MetricStream's creation of a classification system that classifies text fragments and implements domain rules, which is different than a standard natural language processing technique that uses the probabilistic characteristics of the language.
