Method of facilitating natural language interactions, a method of simplifying an expression and a system thereof

A method of processing a natural language expression, comprising the steps of:

• parsing the natural language expression to identify one or more expression types;
• using the identified one or more expression types to generate a plurality of simplified expression portions;
• wherein the plurality of simplified expression portions is representative of the meaning of the natural language expression;
• and,
• wherein the step of generating the plurality of simplified expression portions includes selecting the one or more expression types for use to generate the plurality of simplified expression portions based on one or more pre-trained conditions.

A system for facilitating natural language interactions, comprising:

• a corpus selection module arranged to process a corpus to select a natural language expression from the corpus;
• an expression simplification processor arranged to simplify the selected natural language expression into a plurality of simplified expression portions;
• wherein the plurality of simplified expression portions is representative of the meaning of the selected natural language expression;
• and,
• a comparison interface arranged to present the plurality of simplified expression portions to a user so as to receive a user expression from the user for comparison with the selected natural language expression.

A system for processing a natural language expression, comprising:

• a parsing module arranged to parse the natural language expression to identify one or more expression types;
• an expression generator arranged to use the identified one or more expression types to generate a plurality of simplified expression portions;
• wherein the plurality of simplified expression portions is representative of the meaning of the natural language expression;
• and,
• wherein the one or more expression types is selected for use to generate the plurality of simplified expression portions based on one or more pre-trained conditions.
