Method and apparatus for unsupervised training of natural language processing units

摘要

A method of training a natural language processing unit applies a candidate learning set to at least one component of the natural language unit. The natural language unit is then used to generate a meaning set from a first corpus. A second meaning set is generated from a second corpus using a second natural language unit and the two meaning sets are compared to each other to form a score for the candidate learning set. This score is used to determine whether to modify the natural language unit based on the candidate learning set.
