  • Patent number: 10268758
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semantic information acquisition method and system, and corresponding keyword expansion and search methods and systems, comprising: searching for, then classifying an article; then, performing word segmentation according to the classified article to obtain the words in said category, and setting said category and words to serve as the semantic information of the keyword; also, a method and system using the semantic information acquisition method to expand a keyword, and a method and system using keyword expansion to perform a search. The described semantic information acquisition method effectively avoids the technical problems in the prior art of only being able to obtain semantic information of English vocabulary; and it also being impossible to classify semantic information based on category information. The invention is particularly suitable for searching using a keyword, searching a large number of texts, and organizing large amounts of related data and information.

  • Publication number: 20160232211
    Abstract: A keyword expansion method and system are provided. The method comprises searching with a predetermined initial keyword to obtain current keywords used as a basis of a next search, performing loop search through keyword iteration. If a keyword error between keywords obtained in the current search and those keywords obtained in a previous search is less than a predetermined threshold, using the keywords obtained in the current search as expanded keywords of the initial keyword. With this method, the problem of manually establishing a thesaurus in the prior art may be solved. A method and system of automatically annotating a classified corpus is also provided. The method comprises: determining one or more initial core keywords for each class; obtaining expanded keywords for each class through expanding the initial core keywords; searching with the expanded keywords corresponding to a class to select a classified corpus and annotating the classified corpus.

  • Publication number: 20160217376
    Abstract: In the method and system for knowledge extraction of this invention, knowledge extraction is realized through acquiring an initial sentence group including one or more sentences, and then comparing the length of the initial sentence group with an expected length to determine the initial sentence group to be expanded according to the comparison result. Since the sentence groups are formed by consecutive sentences, it may be guaranteed that the sentence groups themselves have good coherence in logic, so that the final sentence groups obtained through expanding the initial sentence groups have good coherence in logic correspondingly. Thus, this invention may override the drawback of lacking logical coherence in extracted knowledge information in the prior art.

  • Publication number: 20150057994
    Abstract: A translation and teaching system for sending text messages over a telecommunication pathway sent by users in a first language received by a server, a comparison database of a second language for matching, converting the text into a second language upon making the match, a translator for converting the first text transmission into the second language if no match is made into a second transmission, a processor in the server for analyzing the conversion of the transmission for accuracy, and a data path to send the transmission to the user. The system may have a pre-processor that recognizes linguistic irregularities and modifies them to conform to the second language's pre-stored standard grammar and a human linguist platform for post verification of the translation. The system also generates learning lessons for user in language, a learning dictionary that groves with user input, and the addition of third party content for lessons.
