Project Turing proved a number of concepts relating to the effectiveness of pattern matching to language understanding including grammar matching, word sense disambiguation and language translation.
We thought that a bit more detail is needed about the nature of the intelligent dictionary that has come from the project in the form of a web cast video on YouTube. As the first of a few blogs on the subject, the video below shows how the intelligent dictionary works at a high level - orienting you from the matching of sentences through to the phrases and clauses that make a sentence up.
When I was recently discussing the port of the windows software to the web earlier this year in Japan, I was questioned about our future plans for customized deployments which would include other languages, web services and the like. Those subjects are covered in our upcoming blog entries.
Here is the web cast introducing the intelligent dictionary that makes exclusive use of pattern-atom theory.
A final point on the dictionary is that there is almost no code dealing with the stored patterns beyond storing, matching and using them, beyond that required by our Microsoft development environment to display the results on a PC or web-based device.
