ABSTRACT:
Methods and computer systems for semantically analyzing natural language sentences. The natural language processing subsystems for morphological and syntactic analysis transform an input sentence into a syntax parse tree. Semantic analysis applies three sets of semantic rules to create a skeletal logical form graph from a syntax parse tree. Semantic analysis then applies two additional sets of semantic rules to provide semantically meaningful labels for the links of the logical form graph, to create additional logical form graph nodes for missing elements, and to unify redundant elements. The final logical form graph represents the complete semantic analysis of an input sentence.
