ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for classifying natural language (NL) sentences using a combination of NL algorithms or techniques is disclosed. Each NL algorithm or technique may identify a different similarity trait between two or more sentences, and each may help compare the meaning of the sentences. By combining the various similarity factors, preferably by various weighting factors, a distance metric can be computed. The distance metric provides a measure of the overall similarity between sentences, and can be used to assign a sentences to an appropriate sentence category.
