Domain specific language design

This invention describes a computer system designed to help create specialized computer languages for particular tasks or problem areas. A user provides example sentences or statements from their domain and highlights or labels specific parts within them. The system then uses these labels to automatically generate the underlying rules (grammar) for that unique language. Once the rules are established, the system can understand and process other statements written in that new language. The claims narrow the invention to using specific identifiers for values and employing "blocks" to mark sub-portions, including optional ones.

Why it matters: Filed before large language models could assist with grammar induction and parsing. The claims describe a system for learning grammar rules from user annotations, a task that LLMs could now significantly automate or enhance, reducing the manual effort required.
