PROCESSING OF TEXTUAL INFORMATION AND AUTOMATED APPREHENSION OF INFORMATION

摘要

Scheme for the automated apprehension of textual information conveyed in an input string. The input string is segmented to generate segments and/or semantical units. The following steps are repeated for each segment in the input string until a subset for each segment in said input string is identified: a) identifying a matching semantical unit in a fractal hierarchical knowledge database of semantical units and pointers, said matching semantical units being deemed to be related to a segment of said input string; b) determining the fitness of said matching semantical unit by taking into consideration said semantical unit's associations; c) defining a subset of information related to said matching semantical unit within said fractal hierarchical knowledge database. Then these subsets are combined to form a resulting semantic network.
