Apparatus, system, and method for natural language processing

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory, communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, storing one or more modules configured to:
• electronically receive a natural language input phrase from an interface device;
• attribute a concept to the natural language input phrase, wherein the concept is a breakdown of one or more ideas in the input phrase and the attributing is based at least in part on a pattern among terms in the natural language input phrase;
• associate a word in the natural language input phrase with the concept;
• search a database of a set of documents to identify one or more documents associated with the attributed concept to be included in a response to the natural language input phrase;
• maintain the concept during an interactive session between the natural language processor and the interface device;
• receive an ambiguous natural language input phrase during the interactive session;
• and
• determine that the ambiguous natural language input phrase has a same meaning as the word that is associated with the concept.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving natural language input of a user;
• identifying one or more components of the natural language input and a pattern of the one or more components, the pattern including at least one of an order of the one or more components or a proximity of the one or more components to each other, the one or more components including a vocab term component representing at least one of an unambiguous synonym of a term in the natural language input or a spelling variation of a term in the natural language input;
• identifying a concept of the natural language input based at least in part on the pattern of the one or more components;
• receiving ambiguous natural language input of the user;
• and
• determining a meaning of the ambiguous natural language input of the user based at least in part on the concept of the natural language input.
