A system provides on a computer display screen, a graphical image of an initial parsing as generated by a computerized algorithm. Individual clauses are encased in expandable graphical elements that a human user can manipulate on the display screen using an input device in furtherance of improving the initial parsing. The expandable graphical elements have particular spatial and visual interrelationships in keeping with the initial text parsing, human user interactions with the expandable graphic elements captured so as to convert the human-based interactions with these graphical elements into additional machine-readable text and mark-up that can be usable for other machine-based text processes. The system, in addition to being a parsed text/editor interface, thereby functions as an intuitive, visual conduit for dynamic human-machine text analysis collaboration.
A system for improved sentence parsing wherein a machine generated parsing output, corresponding to a sentence characterized by components comprising a noun, a verb and a prepositional phrase and originating from a meta-tag listing of/for same, is adapted and subject to human user assessment and select human user input in furtherance of effectuating a modification to the adapted machine generated parsing output, the human user modified adapted machine generated parsing output thereafter converted into a correspondingly renewed meta-tag listing of meta-tags of the originating meta-tag listing and renewed machine parsing in furtherance of an adapted parsing functionality for the system, the system comprising a computer processor, a display device operatively linked thereto, and a human user action element to effectuate select user actions in relation to display objects of said display device, said computer processor characterized by functional units, a first functional unit establishing, in keeping with a preselect parsing algorithm, the machine generated parsing output corresponding to the sentence characterized by components comprising a noun, a verb and a prepositional phrase, the output characterized by an initial display on said display device, said initial display characterized by the text of the sentence arranged in original text order, and having, on successive lines, the noun, the verb, and prepositional phrase of the sentence with relative indentations specifying parsing relationships among parsed components, a second functional unit establishing an adapted initial display for display upon said display device, said adapted display characterized by unique expandable container images, each parsed component enclosed within a unique expandable container image of said unique expandable container images, each of said unique expandable container images of said adapted initial display subject to select human user input via said human user action element, said select human user input comprising selecting word combinations of a parsed sentence component enclosed within a unique expandable container image for enclosure within a further unique expandable container image, said word combinations thereby having a new and consistent treatment relative to re-parsing and/or subsequent parsing, the modification to the adapted machine generated parsing output thereby effectuated.
