  • Patent number: 10699081
    Abstract: A human language analyzer receives, at the human language analyzer, text data representing information in a human language. The human language analyzer receives a computer command for identifying a text data component of the text data. The computer command comprises at least two requirements for the text data component. The human language analyzer, responsive to identifying that the first requirement and the second requirement are met, locates the text data component from one of two clauses. A clause analyzer receives a clause request to locate clauses within text data representing information in a human language. The clause analyzer receives, responsive to a dependency request, token information in a token data set. The clause analyzer determines a location for each clause of the sentence portion in a hierarchy of clauses. The clause analyzer generates and outputs a new data set based on the token data set and the hierarchy of clauses.
