  • Syntactic parser assisted semantic rule inference
    Patent number: 9767093
    Abstract: Natural language understanding (NLU) engines perform better when they are trained with large amounts of data. However, a large amount of data is not always available. Embodiments of the present invention overcome this problem by generating annotated data for use in a NLU system. An example embodiment generates annotated data by parsing an input annotated phrase, generating a syntactic tree reflecting a grammatical structure of the parsed phrase, and generating one or more alternative versions of the input annotated phrase based on the syntactic tree. Alignment between expressions and corresponding annotations in the annotated phrase are preserved in the one or more alternative versions generated to ensure intention of the input annotated phrase is maintained.
