Abstract

We are developing a pseudo-parallel, message-passing control structure to allow syntactic, semantic, discourse, and pragmatic information to be accessed at any point in the analysis. The advantages of this approach are two-fold. Firstly, partial results can be exchanged among components in a timely manner to be used to constrain the search space of the components. Secondly, the control structure will permit the nature and context of errors in ill-formed input to be broadcast to other components to find ways to circumvent the error but still comprehend the input. The system is being applied to an analysis of TI's patent descriptions.
