Title:
INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT TOOL FOR BUILDING A NATURAL LANGUAGE UNDERSTANDING APPLICATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003096217
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of developing natural language understanding (NLU) applications includes determining NLU interpretation information from an NLU training corpus of text using a multi-pass processing technique. The alteration of one pass automatically can alter an input for a subsequent pass. The NLU interpretation information can specify an interpretation of at least part of the NLU training corpus of text. The NLU interpretation information is stored in a database, and selected items of the NLU interpretation information can be presented in a graphical editor. User specified edits also are received in the graphical editor.
