SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR STORAGE OF DECLARATIVE KNOWLEDGE ACCESSIBLE BY NATURAL LANGUAGE IN A COMPUTER CAPABLE OF APPROPRIATELY RESPONDING

摘要

Systems and methods for natural language communication with a computer. A builder module constructs tables in a database by generating concept symbols for each language element in an expression to form a string of ordered concept symbols, and, in a series of rounds, combining pairs of concept symbols into newly generated concept symbols to form shortened strings of concept symbols until a single concept symbol remains. Each generated concept symbol is stored in a row in the database. A parser module may then utilize the database to parse an input expression by identifying rows in the database that correspond to language elements of the input expression to generate a string of concept symbols, and, in a series of rounds, replacing pairs of concept symbols in the string of concept symbols by identifying rows in the database that comprise the pairs of concept symbols until a single concept symbol remains.
