Abstract: Embodiments of a system and a method for classifying blocks of text at varying, possibly simultaneous, and possibly interacting levels of scope (e.g., sentence, paragraph, section, document) are disclosed. A system includes a processor coupled to: a data reader to receive an input comprising of a data stream, and convert the data stream into one or more logical data blocks of varying scopes. The system includes a dependency tree generator to create a dependency tree to define the scope and dependencies of each of a plurality of natural language processors (NL Processors) with respect to each other such that the dependency tree identifies when an input of a NL Processor (depender) depends on an output of another NL Processor (dependee). Each NL Processor is configured based on a type of at least one logical data block of the one or more logical blocks to which it applies.
