Ontology-based parser for natural language processing

This invention describes a computer program designed to understand human language by breaking down sentences into structured statements. It works by first identifying key ideas and their grammatical roles from a specialized dictionary, then using a two-step process to map these into 'subject performs action on object' formats. The claims specifically narrow the invention to using a dictionary that assigns numbers to concepts.

Why it matters: Filed before the rise of large language models, this invention's core goal of structured language understanding is now more achievable. Modern AI can automate much of the rule-based parsing and ontology creation that was manual in 2000, making the underlying concept easier to implement and scale.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, ontology design, NLP expertise.
