Patent number: 6658627Abstract: The present invention is a system of integrated, computer-based processes for monolingual information development and multilingual translation. An interactive text editor enforces lexical and grammatical constraints on a natural language subset used by the authors to create their text, which they help disambiguate to ensure translatability. The resulting translatable source language text undergoes machine translation into any one of a set of target languages, without the translated text requiring any postediting.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1999Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Caterpillar IncInventors: Sharlene L. Gallup, Peggy M. Andersen, Philip J. Hayes, Eric H. Riebling, Teruko Mitamura, Eric H. Nyberg, III

Patent number: 5995920Abstract: A computer-based method and system for monolingual document development, which includes the steps of entering into a text editor input text in a source language, checking the input text against vocabulary source language constraints, and providing interactive feedback relating to the input text if non-constrained source language is present. The method and system also includes the steps of checking for syntactic grammatical errors and semantic ambiguities in the source text, and providing interactive feedback to remove syntactic grammatical errors and semantic ambiguities in the source text.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1996Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Jaime G.

Patent number: 5920303Abstract: pe1A dynamic keyboard includes a plurality of keys, each with an associated symbol, which are dynamically redefinable to provide access to higher level keyboards. Based on sequenced symbols of keys sequentially activated, certain dynamic categories and subcategories can be accessed and keys corresponding thereto dynamically redefined. Dynamically redefined keys can include embellished symbols and/or newly displayed symbols. These dynamically redefined keys can then provide the user with the ability to easily access both core and fringe vocabulary words in a speech synthesis system.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1997Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Assignee: Semantic Compaction SystemsInventors: Bruce R. Baker, Brian Yoder, David Hershberger, Barry Romich, Eric H. Nyberg, III, Robert V. Conti

Patent number: 5299125Abstract: A Natural Language Processing System utilizes a symbol parsing layer in combination with an intelligent word parsing layer to produce a syntactically or pragmatically correct output sentence or other word message. Initially, a plurality of polysemic symbol sequences are input through a keyboard segmented into a plurality of semantic, syntactic, or pragmatic segments including agent, action and patient segments, for example. One polysemic symbol sequence, including a plurality of polysemic symbols, is input from each of the three segments of the keyboard. A symbol parsing device, in a symbol parsing layer, then parses each of the plurality of symbols in each polysemic symbol sequence to access a previously stored word, morpheme, or phrase. The word, morpheme, or phrase is accessed which corresponds to the polysemic symbol sequence and further corresponds to one of the designated agent, action or patient segments.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1993Date of Patent: March 29, 1994Assignee: Semantic Compaction SystemsInventors: Bruce R.
