System and method for coupled detection of syntax and semantics for natural language understanding and generation

摘要

A method includes performing (410, 506), with at least one processing device (102), at least one of natural language understanding and natural language generation using both (i) a semantic word and clause representation generated from syntactically-labeled context and (ii) a syntax generated from common semantic relations between sequential words and clauses. The method could include generating (404) the semantic word and clause representation and/or generating (406) the syntax. The semantic word and clause representation and the syntax could be generated iteratively (402-406).
