  • Patent number: 11941361
    Abstract: A facility for identifying multi-word expressions in a natural language sentence is described. The facility provides the sentence to each of multiple natural language processing modules including a first module, a second module, and a third module. Each natural language processing module uses a different approach to identify a multi-word expression and a type of the multi-word expression. Upon determining that the multiple identifiers of the multi-word expression differ, the facility determines the multi-word expression using a resolution process, which can involve a logical rule set or a machine learning model.
