Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product for identifying intra sentence vague components includes: receiving a first sentence, assigning tokens to each component of the first sentence, comparing a total number of tokens of the first sentence to a threshold number of tokens, in response to determining that the total number of tokens is less than the threshold number of tokens, identifying one or more relevant complete sentences from a database, determining a best sentence from the one or more relevant complete sentences, and determining a vague component of the first sentence by comparing the best sentence to the first sentence.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a first sentence;
- assigning tokens to each component of the first sentence;
- comparing a total number of tokens of the first sentence to a threshold number of tokens;
- in response to determining that the total number of tokens is less than the threshold number of tokens, identifying one or more relevant complete sentences from a database;
- determining a best sentence from the one or more relevant complete sentences;
- and
- determining a vague component of the first sentence by comparing the best sentence to the first sentence.
A system having one or more computer processors, the system configured to:
- receive a first sentence;
- assign tokens to each component of the first sentence;
- compare a total number of tokens of the first sentence to a threshold number of tokens;
- in response to determining that the total number of tokens is less than the threshold number of tokens, identify one or more relevant complete sentences from a database;
- determine a best sentence from the one or more relevant complete sentences;
- and
- determine a vague component of the first sentence by comparing the best sentence to the first sentence.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a server to cause the server to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a first sentence;
- assigning tokens to each component of the first sentence;
- comparing a total number of tokens of the first sentence to a threshold number of tokens;
- in response to determining that the total number of tokens is less than the threshold number of tokens, identifying one or more relevant complete sentences from a database;
- determining a best sentence from the one or more relevant complete sentences;
- and
- determining a vague component of the first sentence by comparing the best sentence to the first sentence.
