Abstract

A computer-assisted language generation system including sentence retrieval functionality, operative on the basis of an input text containing words, to retrieve from an internet corpus a plurality of sentences containing words which correspond to the words in the input text and sentence generation functionality operative using a plurality of sentences retrieved by the sentence retrieval functionality from the internet corpus to generate at least one correct sentence giving expression to the input text.

Claims

1. A computer-assisted language generation system comprising:

sentence retrieval functionality, operative on the basis of an input text containing words, to retrieve from an internet corpus a plurality of sentences containing words which correspond to said words in the input text; and

sentence generation functionality operative using a plurality of sentences retrieved by the sentence retrieval functionality from the internet corpus to generate at least one correct sentence giving expression to the input text.

2. A computer-assisted language generation system according to claim 1 and wherein said sentence retrieval functionality comprises:

an independent phrase generator splitting said input text into one or more independent phrases;

a word stem generator and classifier, operative for each independent phrase to generate word stems for words appearing therein and to assign importance weights thereto; and

an alternatives generator for generating alternative word stems corresponding to said word stems.

3. A computer-assisted language generation system according to claim 2 and also comprising a stem to sentence index which interacts with said internet corpus for retrieving said plurality of sentences containing words which correspond to said words in the input text.
