ABSTRACT:
The present invention uses a natural language understanding system that is currently being trained to assist in annotating training data for training that natural language understanding system. Unannotated training data is provided to the system and the system proposes annotations to the training data. The user is offered an opportunity to confirm or correct the proposed annotations, and the system is trained with the corrected or verified annotations.
