20130006609 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND PROGRAM STORAGE DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC INCREMENTAL LEARNING OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE GRAMMAR - The embodiments provide for automatic incremental learning of programming language grammar. A corpus (i.e., a text file of software code written in a particular programming language) is parsed based on a set of grammar rules.

A subset of the set of grammar rules at fault for the parsing failure is identified. Groups of new grammar rules are developed such that each group comprises at least one new grammar rule, such that each group can parse the unparsed statement, and such that each new grammar rule is a modification of grammar rule(s) in the subset. One specific group can then be selected for possible incorporation into the set of grammar rules.

20130007722 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND PROGRAM STORAGE DEVICE THAT PROVIDE FOR AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE GRAMMAR PARTITIONING - Disclosed are embodiments a computer-implemented method, a system and an associated program storage device that provide for automatic programming language grammar partitioning to solve the “code too large” problem. The embodiments partition a particular programming language grammar into logical subsets based on a set of partitioning heuristics and using a dependency graph that is preprocessed so as to be devoid of any cyclically connected grammar rule nodes. For each logical subset, textual code for a corresponding portion of a parsing program can be generated and then converted into machine-readable code for that corresponding portion of the parsing program. Thus, small amounts of textual code for portions of a parsing program are discretely converted into machine-readable code, thereby avoiding the “code too large” problem. The machine-readable code for all portions of the parsing program can then be merged and the parsing program can be executed in order to parse a corpus. | 01-03-2013 |
