US Patent 7610191 Method for fast semi-automatic semantic annotation

A method, apparatus and computer instructions is provided for fast semi-automatic semantic annotation. Given a limited annotated corpus, the present invention assigns a tag and a label to each word of the next limited annotated corpus using a parser engine, a similarity engine, and a SVM engine. A rover then combines the parse trees from the three engines and annotates the next chunk of limited annotated corpus with confidence, such that the efforts required for human annotation is reduced.
