  • Methods and systems for increasing processor speed by creating rule engine rules from unstructured text
    Patent number: 9880863
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an aircraft. A plurality of documents, each comprising corresponding unstructured text and each being from a different source, is received at a processor, a particular document being in the plurality of documents. The particular document is selected by the processor based on a policy. The corresponding unstructured text for the particular document is converted by the processor into a structured language. The structured language is compiled by the processor into rules for a rules engine comprising software stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The rules for the rules engine are parsed by the processor into a set of rules. The aircraft is constructed according to the set of rules.
