Automated transformation of unstructured data
First Claim
1. A data processing method for automatically identifying the underlying syntaxes of unstructured data items, where unstructured data items are strings that include incomplete syntactical information but implicitly are characterized by a nontrivial syntax, the method comprising:
- receiving input of unstructured data items into a processing machine memory; and
recognizing the underlying syntaxes of the data items by the processing machine by applying pattern recognition techniques, wherein this step comprises;
identifying potential syntax components; and
combining the components until the underlying syntaxes emerge.

27. A data processing system for automatically identifying underlying syntaxes of unstructured data items, where unstructured data items are strings that include incomplete syntactical information but implicitly are characterized by a nontrivial syntax, the system comprising a processor, a computer-readable medium operatively coupled to the processor and storing data, and a computer program executed by the processor from the medium and comprising:
-
module that receives input of unstructured data items into a processing machine memory; and
module that recognizes the underlying syntaxes of the data items by the processing machine by applying pattern recognition techniques, wherein this step comprises;
module that identifies potential syntax components; and
module that combines the components until the underlying syntaxes emerge. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)
