Patent number: 11983500Abstract: At a terminal equipment side, sentence information received by the terminal equipment is acquired. A part-of-speech label sequence of text data in the sentence information for which part-of-speech labelling is to be performed is extracted. A detection result is acquired by detecting legitimacy of the part-of-speech label sequence. When the detection result indicates that the part-of-speech label sequence is illegitimate, the part-of-speech label sequence is corrected. A corrected part-of-speech label sequence is output as a result of performing part-of-speech labelling on the text data. Semantics corresponding to the sentence information is determined according to output sentence information with part-of-speech labels.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: BEIJING XIAOMI PINECONE ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuankai Guo, Yulan Hu, Liang Shi, Erli Meng, Bin Wang, Yingzhe Wang, Shuo Wang, Xinyu Hua
