| 20110161067 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING POS TAGGING FOR SYMBOL ASSIGNMENT - Systems and methods for automatically discovering and assigning symbols for identified text in a software application include identifying text for which symbol assignment is desired. The words within the identified text and selected surrounding words defining an observation sequence are subjected to a part of speech tagging algorithm to electronically determine one or more most likely part of speech tags for the identified text. Context relations between the identified text and selected surrounding keywords may also be identified. The identified text, part of speech tag(s) and/or determined relations are then analyzed to map the identified text to one or more identified word senses. Related word senses may also be analyzed to determine if any related word senses have symbols. One of the determined symbols may then be associated with the identified text such that the symbol is thereafter displayed in conjunction with or instead of the text in the application. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110161068 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING A SENSE MODEL FOR SYMBOL ASSIGNMENT - Systems and methods for automatically discovering and assigning symbols for identified text in a software application include receiving electronic signals from an input device indicating identified text for which symbol assignment is desired. Additional information such as part of speech, additional words, context of use, etc. may also be provided. The identified text and optional additional information is analyzed to establish a mapping of the identified text to one or more identified word senses from a word sense model database. An electronic determination of whether any of the identified word senses has an associated symbol is conducted. Related word senses may also be analyzed to determine if any related word senses have symbols. One of the determined symbols may then be associated with the identified text such that the symbol is thereafter displayed in conjunction with or instead of the text in the application. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110161073 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DISAMBIGUATING AND SELECTING DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS FOR ONE OR MORE TARGET WORDS - Systems and methods for automatically selecting dictionary definitions for one or more target words include receiving electronic signals from an input device indicating one or more target words for which a dictionary definition is desired. The target word(s) and selected surrounding words defining an observation sequence are subjected to a part of speech tagging algorithm to electronically determine one or more most likely part of speech tags for the target word(s). Potential relations are examined between the target word(s) and selected surrounding keywords. The target word(s), the part of speech tag(s) and the discovered keyword relations are then used to map the target word(s) to one or more specific dictionary definitions. The dictionary definitions are then provided as electronic output, such as by audio and/or visual display, to a user. | 06-30-2011 |
