20110161067 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING POS TAGGING FOR SYMBOL ASSIGNMENT - Systems and methods for automatically discovering and assigning symbols for identified text in a software application include identifying text for which symbol assignment is desired. The words within the identified text and selected surrounding words defining an observation sequence are subjected to a part of speech tagging algorithm to electronically determine one or more most likely part of speech tags for the identified text. Context relations between the identified text and selected surrounding keywords may also be identified. The identified text, part of speech tag(s) and/or determined relations are then analyzed to map the identified text to one or more identified word senses. Related word senses may also be analyzed to determine if any related word senses have symbols. One of the determined symbols may then be associated with the identified text such that the symbol is thereafter displayed in conjunction with or instead of the text in the application. | 06-30-2011 |
