  • Patent number: 10289680
    Abstract: Systems and methods of natural language processing in an environment with no existing corpus are disclosed. The method includes defining an input grammar specific to a chosen domain, the input grammar having a domain specific knowledge and general grammatical knowledge. Groups of tokens are identified within the input grammar having syntactic and semantic equivalence. The identified groups are assembled into hypernyms, wherein the hypernyms include a semantic output for each token in the hypernyms. A list of fields is then combined with the hypernyms for combination with the hypernyms. A corpus of possible combinations of hypernyms and fields is created. A data structure mapping each possible combination to a partial semantic output is generated and the data structure is saved for use in later processing.
