Abstract

Disclosed herein are various embodiments of methods and systems for constructing a first language model for use by a first Language Processing (LP) application of a plurality of LP applications. Each LP application of the plurality of LP applications receives one or more of a language based input, a derivative of the language based input, a response to the language based input and a derivative of the response. The method includes processing at least one input by a second LP application of the plurality of LP applications. Based on the processing of the second LP application, at least one output is generated. Subsequently, at least a portion of the first language model is constructed based on the at least one output.

Claims (38)

1. A method of constructing a natural language model for accessing a content management system, the method comprising:

a) using a processor, constructing a first natural language model within a Natural Language Processing (NLP) application;

b) receiving a first natural language input from a first user comprising a text in the first natural language into the NLP application;

c) encapsulating linguistic characteristics within the first natural language model based upon the first natural language input, the linguistic characteristics comprising:

i) a set of multiple primitives of the first Natural Language, said multiple primitives comprising tokens that form a basis for expressing information using the first Natural Language; and

ii) semantic characteristics of the first Natural Language; and

iii) syntactic characteristics of the first natural language; and

iv) a probability of occurrence of two of said multiple primitives within a spatiotemporal proximity;

d) generating a derivative of the first natural language input, said derivative of the first natural language input based upon the first natural language model and the linguistic characteristics;

e) communicating with a search engine application program interface;

f) retrieving documents relevant to the first natural language input by executing a search via the search engine with a topic specific query based upon the derivative and the linguistic characteristics;

g) presenting the documents relevant to the first natural language input and identified via the search engine to the first user;

h) receiving a second natural language input from a second user comprising a text in the second natural language input different from the first natural language input and inputting the second natural language input into a second natural language model in the NLP application, wherein the second natural language model is based upon the linguistic characteristics encapsulated within the first natural language model;

i) generating, using the processor, at least one output based on processing of the second natural language input by the second natural language model in the NLP application, wherein the output comprises a text in the second natural language;

j) presenting the output based on processing the second natural language model to the second user; and

k) storing at least a portion of the first natural language model in a memory communicatively coupled to the processor.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising training the NLP application based on a text corpus in at least one of the first natural language and the second natural language.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising repeating, using the processor, steps a) through g) of claim 1 on a predetermined time interval of at least thirty seconds and presenting content to the first user based upon the repeated steps.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the text corpus is specific to a topic.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the NLP application comprises a speech recognition application and a topic classification application.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein at least one advertisement is presented to a user based on a topic identified by the topic classification application.

7. A computer implemented method of constructing a natural language model for processing a natural language input, the method comprising:

a) using a processor, constructing a first natural language model within a Natural Language Processing (NLP) application;

b) receiving a first natural language input in a first natural language from a first user into the NLP application;

c) encapsulating linguistic characteristics within the first natural language model based upon the first natural language input, the linguistic characteristics comprising:

i) a set of multiple primitives of the first Natural Language, said multiple primitives comprising tokens that form a basis for expressing information using the first Natural Language; and

ii) semantic characteristics of the first Natural Language; and

iii) syntactic characteristics of the first natural language; and

iv) a probability of occurrence of two of said multiple primitives within a spatiotemporal proximity;

d) generating a derivative of the first natural language input, said derivative of the first natural language input based upon the first natural language model and the linguistic characteristics;

e) communicating with a search engine application program interface;

f) retrieving documents relevant to the first natural language input by executing a search via the search engine with a topic specific query based upon the linguistic characteristics;

g) receiving a second natural language input from a second user, wherein the second natural language input is different from the first natural language and inputting the second natural language input into a second natural language model in the NLP application, wherein the second natural language model is based upon the linguistic characteristics encapsulated within the first natural language model;

h) generating, using the processor, at least one output based on processing of the second natural language input by the second natural language model in the NLP application, wherein the output comprises a text in a second natural language; and

i) storing at least a portion of the first natural language model in a memory communicatively coupled to the processor.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein each of the first natural language input and the second natural language input comprise a speech input.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the NLP application comprises a speech recognition application and a topic classification application.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein at least one advertisement is presented to a user based on a topic identified by the topic classification application.
