SPECIFICATION

This invention relates to the field of computational creativity in the areas
of natural-language
generation (NLG) and the arts.
The goal of computational creativity is to design computer programs that
model, simulate or
replicate human creativity understood as an ability to create novel
representations of pre-existing
ideas or objects, said novel representations arising through rule-based,
statistical based or inspired
by the functioning of biological systems transformations of initial and
intermediate representations.
Patented prior works related to the area of natural-language generation
include: US Pat.
7603267 (Issue date 13 Oct 2009); US Pat. 7496621 (Issue date Feb 24, 2009);
US Pat. 7010479
(Issue date Mar 7, 2006); and, US Pat. 7275033 (Issue date Sep 25, 2007).
Examples of non-patented NLG systems developed to date include FUF/Surge,
RealPro,
Penman/KPML, Nitrogen, Amalgam, and Fergus. Considered broadly, presently
known or used
NLG systems differ in the way they represent linguistic knowledge. In respect
to linguistic
knowledge representation, a lexical ontology has become the defining term for
the part of a
language modeling that excludes the instances, yet describes what they can be.
In general terms, a
lexical ontology defines the set of representational primitives with which to
model the domain of
- 1 -

CA 02704163 2010-05-21

linguistic knowledge. Currently popular classes of models for linguistic
knowledge representation
include semantic networks models (Quillian), KL-ONE class of knowledge
representations (used by
Penman/KPML) and the neural network models. Overall, current NLG systems are
split between
two traditions: stochastic or Markov language models (LM) that are often
criticized because they
have difficulties explaining future linguistic behavior and creativity; and
formal symbolic (rule-
based) LM based on the Chomsky tradition that are often criticized because
they trivialize the
problem of lexical choice.

The present invention has two components: a natural language generating (NLG)
component dealing with the generation of English ontology and the generation
of English sentences
in an improved natural language generation system of the type commonly called
formal symbolic
(rule-based) systems; and, a composition generating (CGS) component dealing
with the generation
visual and audio compositions in a system belonging to the general type of
abstract art generating
systems inspired by language and the functioning of biological systems.
The NLG component of the invention includes methods, systems and software for:

transforming an initial input set of 'thesaurus-like organized' words (L)
wherein said words are
represented by means of subsets of synonyms and antonyms to their part of
speech specific senses
into a rule-based ontology set (Lo) wherein inflection-complement-joining
tagged (Jki) forms of
said words are represented by means of syntactical-complement-joining tagged
(PJk) sets
comprising semantic intermediaries that mediate the syntactic pairing of said
words; and rule-based
transforming into an output sentence (e) of a sequence (Sn) of interdependent
pairing instructions
(kgGig) each of said instruction encoding a specific syntactic rule for PJk-
based pairing of
grammatically correct inflectional forms (Jkii) of words belonging to said
rule-based ontology set.
The methods provided by the present invention are the result of an improved
(based on analyzing
the connectivity between syntactically compatible words belonging to the
initial input set of words L
and inspired by patterns of cortical organizations) rule-based model of
language (LM). Unlike other
rule-based LM, wherein the choice of the words filling in the abstract
framework of a sentence is
reduced to a simple secondary to grammar look-up method, according to LM
provided herein said
abstract framework is: (i) represented as a sequence of interdependent pairing
instructions for
joining together grammatically correct inflectional forms of words represented
by means of
syntactical-complement-joining sets of identified semantic intermediaries (of
the type commonly
called 'semantic universals'); and, (ii) sequentially filled in with
grammatically correct inflectional
forms of pairs of words that have at least one semantic intermediary in
common.

In respect to its composition generating component (CGS) the present invention
provides
novel means for producing a potentially infinite number of different visual
and audio compositions
representing sentences produced from the finite rule-based ontology set
provided by the present
invention. More particularly, the CGS component of the invention includes
software for: converting
an input sentence or and a sequence of sentences into an intermediate output
sequence of fragments;
developing and operating visual and audio pallets (COP, ShP, SiP, MP, SP);
converting an input
sequence of fragments (Sf) into an intermediate output visual (Vm) or audio
(Am) motif; converting
an input motif into an output visual (Vc) or audio (Ac) composition
representing a sentence or a
sequence of sentences generated by NLG.
The provided by the present invention methods, systems and the software can be
applied in
the areas of natural language generation and the arts for the purpose of
artistic activities such as the
creation of audio-visual installations comprising potentially infinite number
of different audio-visual
compositions generated and displayed in real time, and or the creation of
potentially infinite number
of different visual patterns or original prints.
The invention has been tested and it can be assumed that software component of
the
invention (which has been written in Java programming language) is capable of
transforming: the
initial thesaurus-like organized input into a finite rule-based ontology set;
and, inputs from the finite
rule-based ontology set provided herein into sentences, audio compositions,
and potentially infinite
number of different visual compositions.
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative
forms, specific
embodiments thereof are shown by way of examples and in the figures and will
herein be described
in detail. It should be noted that in most of the cases arbitrary symbols and
uncommon terms and
abbreviations have been used for the purpose of describing the present
invention.

With reference to Fig. 1, an exemplary system for implementing the invention
includes a
natural language generating system (NLG) comprising: a generator of rule-based
ontology set
Lo{w} (unit 06); and, a generator of sentences (unit 07) from words belonging
to Lo{w}. Underlying
said NLG system is an improved rule-based model of language (LM) the result of
analyzing: (a) the
connectivity between two words said connectivity schematically exemplified in
Fig. 2 section A
wherein, w1 and w2 are words, xPS symbolizes sets of synonyms and antonyms
(synants) of primary
part-of-speech specific sense definition(s) of w1 and w2, xNS symbolizes sets
of synants (if any) of
the non-primary part-of-speech specific sense definitions of w1 and w2, SYli
is a set composed of
synants of w1, SY12 is a set composed of synants of the words in SY11, SY1 j
is a set composed of
synants of the words in the preceding set SY1j_1, SY21 is a set composed of
synants of w2, SY22 is a
set composed of the synants of the words in SY21, SY2) is a set composed of
synants of the words in
the preceding set SY2j_i, and, P is a median set composed of synants of words
in both SYli and
SY2J; and, (b) type(s) of sentence(s) schematically exemplified in Fig. 2
section G and in Fig. 6

section B wherein S1 a indicates a subject/verb sentence, S1 indicates an
adjective/subject/verb
sentence, S3b indicates an adjective/subject/verb/object sentences and so on.
More particularly, it has been assumed that: (i) since, the number of sets
(SYii) separating w1
and w2 varies, as exemplified in Fig. 2 section B, wherein SY13 indicates a
set of words (if any) that
are synants of words in both set SYli and set SY12, SY15 indicates a set of
words (if any) that are
synants of words in both SY13 and SY14, SY23 indicates a set of words (if any)
that are synants of
words in both SY21 and SY22, and SY25 indicates a set of words (if any) that
are synants of words in
both SY23 and SY24; (ii) and since, as exemplified in Fig. 2 section C, the
connectivity between any
pair of syntactically compatible words w1 and w2 can be represented by means
of two sequences
converging in a base set Pc = SY1 fl SY2i (referred herein as a
set of common semantic
intermediaries); (iii) and since, as exemplified in Fig. 2 section D,
different sequences of different
sets build from different synants (xT1 and xT2) can be used to represent an
assumed connectivity
(C1pC2p) between a primary cause-word (wi) and a secondary cause-word (w2), or
and an assumed
connectivity (C1pE2p) between a cause-word (wi) and an effect-word (w2), or
and an assumed
connectivity (E1pC2p) between an effect-word (w1) and a cause-word (w2), or
and an assumed
connectivity (E1pE2p) between a primary effect-word (wi) and secondary effect-
word (w2); (iv) and
since, different syntactical rules (for pairing words in a sentence) can be
represented by means of
different sequences, as exemplified in Fig. 2 section E, wherein xRirde are
different sets comprising
selected xT1 or xT2 type synants of wi and w2, PJ1 and PJ2 are sets of
semantic intermediaries
mediating the syntactic pairing of w1 used as a subject with w2 used as a verb
in a sentence and PJ4
and PJ3 are sets of semantic intermediaries mediating the syntactic pairing of
wi used as a object
and w2 used as a verb; therefore:
(i) in a rule-based ontology inflection-complement-joining tagged forms of
words can be
represented by means of syntactical-complement-joining tagged sets of
identified semantic
intermediaries, as exemplified in Fig. 2 section F, wherein PJ1, PJ2, PJ3, PJ4
and PJ5 (for pairing a
subject and an object) are sets of identified semantic intermediaries and Pc
denotes a set of at least
one semantic intermediary common to PJ1 and PJ2;
(ii) and, types of sentences can be represented, by means of sequences of
interdependent pairing
instructions, as exemplified in Fig. 2 section G, wherein 11GigI2Gigl3Gigl
represents a sequence of
instructions for generating the sentence (Ws1 Wvt2 w01) on the condition that
PJ1 fl PJ2 , PJ4 fl
PJ3 0 and PJ5 n PJ5 0.
It should be understood that other features of LM underlying the NLG system
provided
herein will become apparent from the detailed description of the methods for:
transforming an input
- 5 -

CA 02704163 2010-05-21

part of speech tag of a source word into a composite part-of-speech tag; the
sequential transforming
of input sets of synants representing part of speech senses of a source word
into 'causality',
'multiple-causality' and derivative sets; transforming a composite part of
speech tag into syntactical-
complement-joining tags for sets of semantic intermediaries; identifying the
part of speech tags of
the words that can be used as semantic intermediaries; identifying of the
elements of syntactical-
complement-joining tagged sets of a source word using trial and error
techniques; and, the
transforming of sequences of interdependent pairing instructions into
sentences.

Referring back to Fig. 1 section A, another exemplary system for implementing
the invention
is a rule-based ontology set generating system comprising: generators of
intermediate temporary
outputs (units 01-04); and a generator of sets of identified semantic
intermediaries (units 05-06).

The rule-based ontology set generating system is now explained with reference
to an initial
input set of words L {w} wherein said words are represented by means of:
(i) part speech ordering patterns (POSo) - the term POSo as used herein
refers to the order in
which the part of speech usage(s) of a given word are listed in the public
domain Webster's
Dictionary from 1913;
(ii) synonyms and antonyms (referred herein as synants) to their part of
speech specific primary
sense definition (xPS) which is the definition listed as first (for a given
part of speech usage)
in the public domain Webster's Dictionary from 1913; and, if a word has more
then one part-
of-speech specific senses, by means of synants to their non-primary sense
definition(s) (xNS)
which is any definition listed as second, third, and so on (for a given part
of speech usage) in
the public domain Webster's Dictionary from 1913.
Unit L {w} shown in Fig.1 section A also relates to a converted into a
computer readable
medium input set of words L {w} = {w l w has POSo, w has xPS, w has xNS} where
x = (a,
n, vi, or vt), and where xPS and xNS are proper subsets of L {w} . It should
be understood
that L {w} provided herein is not a Dictionary, and that said L {w} has been
compiled solely
for the purpose of the present invention.

Referring back to Fig. 1, unit 01 shown in section A, relates to method-010
and executable
by computer instructions for causing a computing system to carry out the steps
of method-010, said
method comprising rules for: (1) POSo-based generating of part-of-speech-
ordered tags (POT); (2)
PoT-based generating of alphabetically-ordered part-of-speech tags (PaT); (3)
PoT-based generating
- 6 -

CA 02704163 2010-05-21

of a provided by the present invention part-of-speech-dominance tags (PdT);
and (4) the generating
of a composite part-of-speech tags (PcT).
(1) POSo of w E L is formally represented by means of PoT-sequence P
1 , P2, ...Pp (p
corresponds to the total number of parts of speech) in which P1 is always
manifested while
P2,...and Pp can be either manifested or unmanifested (um) and wherein: P1
corresponds to
the part of speech listed first in the POSo of a source word w; P2 corresponds
to the part of
speech (if any) listed second in POSo of said w; and Pp corresponds to a part
of speech (if
any) listed last in POSo of said w. More particularly, the POSo-based
generating of PoT is
explained by way of examples of words that can be used as adjectives, nouns,
or and
transitive and intransitive verbs as follows:
POSo = (n) of any word w E L is represented by means of PoT = (n, um, um, um);
POSo = (n, vt) of any word w E L is represented by means of PoT = (n, vt, um,
um);
POSo = (vt, n, a) of any word w E L is represented by means of PoT = (vt, n,
a, um);
POSo = (a, n, vi, vt) of any word w E L is represented by means of PoT = (a,
n, vi, vt).
The above exemplified rules are translated into executable by computer
instructions and L
{w} = {w I w has POSo, w has xPS, and w has xNS} is transformed into temporary
output
set L010 {w} = {w I w has PoT, w has xPS, w has xNS}.
(2) PaT represents the part(s) of speech of all w E L010 in the same
arbitrarily chosen
(alphabetical) order (a, n, vi, vt) as sequences of 1 or and 0 in which: 1
denotes that w
belongs to a particular part of speech class; and, 0 denotes that w does not
belong to the class.
More particularly the PoT-based generating of PaT is explained by way of a
temporary tag
(PaTt) and the following examples:
If w has 'a' as element of PoT (a E PoT) then PaTt = 1 n vi vt, else PaTt = 0
n vi vt;
If PaTt = 1 n vi vt and n E PoT then PaTt = 11 vi vt, else PaTt = 10 vi vt;
If PaTt = 0 n vi vt and n E PoT then PaTt = 01 vi vt, else PaTt = 00 vi vt;
If PaTt = 11 vi vt and vi E PoT then PaTt = 111 vt, else PaTt = 110 vt;
If PaTt = 10 vi vt and vi E PoT then PaTt = 101 vt, else PaTt = 100 vt;
If PaTt = 01 vi vt and vi E PoT then PaTt = 011 vt, else PaTt = 010 vt;
If PaTt = 00 vi vt and vi E PoT then PaTt = 001 vt, else PaTt = 000 vt;
If PaTt = 111 vt and vt E PoT then PaT = 1111, else PaT = 1110;
If PaTt = 110 vt and vt E PoT then PaT = 1101, else PaT = 1100;
If PaTt = 101 vt and vt E PoT then PaT = 1011, else PaT = 1010;
- 7 -

CA 02704163 2010-05-21

If PaTt = 100 vt and vt E PoT then PaT = 1001, else PaT = 1000;
If PaTt = 011 vt and vt E PoT then PaT = 0111, else PaT = 0110;
If PaTt = 010 vt and vt E PoT then PaT = 0101, else PaT = 0100;
If PaTt = 001 vt and vt E PoT then PaT = 0011 else PaT = 0010;
If PaTt = 000 vt and vt E PoT then PaT = 0001 else w L011.
The above exemplified rules are translated into executable by computer
instructions and
L010 {w} is transformed into temporary output L011 {w} = {wl w has PoT, w has
PaT, w
has xPS, w has xNS} wherein PaT is 1111, 1011, 0011, 0001, 1001, 0111, 0101,
1101, 1000,
0100, 0010, 1010, 0110, 1110, or 1100, and PaT 0000.
(3) PoT of any word w E L011 is formally represented by means of
provided by the
present invention part of speech dominance tag (PdT) each component (PdTc, 1 <
c < 4 ) of
which expresses an assumed relative dominance relationship between two
different part of
speech usages of w, more particularly, an assumed relative dominance
relationship between
pair(s) of manifested part of speech usages of w and between a manifested and
a non-
manifested (um) part of speech usage of w. As schematically exemplified in
Fig. 3 section A,
the PoT-based generation of PdT = (PdT1, PdT2, PdT3, PdT4) is explained by way
of an
example type of words having P1 = a as follows:
If P1 = a and P2 = um then PdT1 = an, PdT2 = avi, PdT3 = avt and PdT = (an,
av) based on
the assumption that avi = av and avt = av;
If P1 = a, P2 = n, and P3 = um, then PdT1 = an, PdT2 = av, PdT3 = nv and PdT =
(an, av, nv)
based on the assumption that nvi = nv and nvt = nv;
If P1 = a, P2 = vi, and P3 = um then PdT = (av, an, vn, vivt);
If P1 = a, P2 = vt, and P3 = um then PdT = (av, an, vn, vtvi);
If P1 = a, P2 = n, P3 = vi, and P4 = um then PdT = (an, av, nv, vivt);
If P1 = a, P2 = n, P3 = vt, and P4 = um then PdT = (an, av, nv, vtvi);
If P1 = a, P2 = vi, P3 = n, and P4 = um then PdT = (av, an, vn, vivt);
If P1 = a, P2 = vi, P3 = vt, and P4 = um then PdT = (av, an, vn, vivt);
If P1 = a, P2 = vt, P3 = vi, and P4 = um then PdT = (av, an, vn, vtvi);
If P1 = a, P2 = vt, P3 = n, and P4 = um then PdT = (av, an, vn, vtvi);
If P1 = a, P2 = n, P3 = vi, and P4 = vt then PdT = (av, an, nv, vivt);
If P1 = a, P2 = n, P3 = vt, and P4 = vi then PdT = (av, an, nv, vtvi);
If P1 = a, P2 = vi, P3 = n, and P4 = um then PdT = (av, an, vn, vivt);
If P1 = a, P2 = vi, P3 = vt, and P4 = n then PdT = (av, an, vivt, vn);

If P1 = a, P2 = vt, P3 = vi, and P4 = n then PdT = (av, an, vtvi, vn);
If P1 = a, P2 = vt, P3 = n, and P4 = um then then PdT = (av, an, vn, vtvi).
The above exemplified rules for PoT-based generation of PdT are translated
into executable
by computer instructions and L011 {w} is transformed into temporary output set
L012 {w} = {wl w has PoT, w has PaT, w has PdT, w has xPS, w has xNS}. It
should be
noted that for the purpose of the present invention rules for determining of
'same' (sPdTc)
and 'inverted' (iPdTc) part of speech dominance components of PdT have been
introduced.
For example, according to said rules if wi has PdT = (av, an) and w2 has PdT =
(av, na, nv)
then: w1 and w2 are said to have 'ay' as sPdTc; and wi and w2 are said to have
'an' and `na'
as iPdTc.
(4) The generating of composite part-of-speech tags (PcT = (PoT, PaT, PdT)
is explained by way
of the following example:
If w has PoT = (n, um, um, um), and w has PaT (0100), and w has PdT = (na, nv)

then w has PcT = (PoT (n, um, um, um), PaT (0100), PdT (nv, na)).
Accordingly, the rules for generating of PcT are translated into executable by
computer
instructions and L012 {w} is transformed into output set L013 {w} = {wl w has
PcT, w has
xPS, w has xNS}. Sets L010-13 may be further developed by adding to the
initial input L
words such as adverbs (adv).

and executable

of method-020 for
rule-based transforming of xPS and xNS into provided by the present invention
sets referred herein
as 'causality sets' (CS) that are symbolically represented in the figures as
xT1 and xT2 (x is a, n, vi
or vt part of speech) and the formation of which is schematically exemplified
in Fig. 3 section B.
(i) With regard to particulars xT1 (x = a, n, vi, or vt) of a source word w
is formed from:
synonyms of xPS of w that have sPdTc as the word w;
words that have w as a synonym of their xPS and have sPdTc as the word w;
antonyms of xNS of w that have sPdTc as the word w;

words that have w as a synonym of their xPS and have iPdTc as the word w;
antonyms of xNS of w that have iPdTc as the word w;
words that have w as an antonym of any of their xNS and have iPdTc as the word
w;
synonyms of any xNS of w that have sPdTc as the word w;
words that have w as a synonym of any of their xNS and have sPdTc as the word
w;
antonyms of xPS of w that have sPdTc as the word w;
words that have w as an antonym of their xPS and have sPdTc as the word w.

computer instructions
for causing a computing system to carry out the steps of (schematically
exemplified in Fig 4, A)
tagging rules explained by means of the following examples:

one of the following
PaT: 0100, 1100, 0110, 0101, 0111, 1101, 1110, 1111, 1000, 1010, or 1001;

introducing more
Jkij¨tagged inflections and PJk-tags reflecting additional syntactic pairing
rules.

Referring back to Fig. 1, unit 05 shown in section A, relates to method-050
said method
comprising: (1) a stage 1 relating to the forming of a binary structure to
represent the connectivity
between pairs of syntactically compatible words, said structure comprising two
component
identification structures as required by LM provided herein; (2) a stage 2
relating to a trial and error
(T&E) procedure for transforming said identification structures into
prototypes to be used for
identifying the elements (semantic intermediaries) of the PJk-tagged sets as
further required by LM.
1. Included in stage 1 of method-50 are: (A) assumptions (i-v); (B)
requirements (RI-RV): and
(C) the forming of identification structures that comply with the
requirements.
(A) Assumptions (i-v) are inspired by patterns of cortical organization
and are described as
follows:
(i) As schematically exemplified in Fig 4 section B, the connectivity
between two
syntactically compatible words can be represented by means of a binary
structure (BS)
composed of `layers'(Lal -L8) the number of which is maximum 8, said number 8
corresponding to cortical layers 1, 2, 3, 4a, 4h, 4c, 5 and 6 (as described by
Gordon Shepherd
in Neurobiology, Oxford University Press, 1983)
(ii) As further exemplified in section B in Fig. 4, said BS is composed of
two
identification structures (gISm) comprising at least one layer of synants and
at least one a
layer of semantic intermediaries and that said two gISm(s) are correlated in
such a way so

- 13 -

CA 02704163 2010-05-21

that sum of the number of layers for the first gISml and the number of layers
for the second
gISm2 does not exceed 8.
(iii) As further exemplified in section B in Fig. 4, each of the two gISm(s)
composing BS
is unfolding alongside two parallel pathways (DPi and IPi) analogous to the
direct (DP) and
the indirect (IP) pathways for the processing of visual information, each step
of the said
pathway corresponding to a layer, said DPi and IPi allowed to unfold alongside
alternative
routes so that overall number of layers forming the DPi and IPi of both
gISm(s) is max. 8.
(iv) As exemplified in section A in Fig. 5, separate BS represent the
connectivity
between a subject-word and a verb-word; a verb-word and an object-word; an
object-word
and a subject-word; an adjective-modifier and a subject or an object word.
Furthermore,
since double part of speech words are richer in connectivity then single part
of speech words
different gISm(s) represent single, double and triple part of speech words.
For example, BS
representing the connectivity between a single part of speech subject-word and
a double part
of speech verb-word is build from one gISm representing single-part of speech
subject-
words and one gISm representing a double part of speech verb-word.
(B) The requirements (RI-V) that comply with assumptions (i-iv) as
exemplified in section B in
Fig. 4 are described as follows:
(RI) Requiring each individual gISm to be minimum 3 and maximum 5 layered
structure
converging alongside two main pathways (DPi and IPi) in a base of maximum 2
layers
composed of words that can be used as semantic intermediaries (PLi), and that
the number of
routes (i) within a pathway be maximum 3.
More specifically:
For the forming of DP1 the number of layers composed of words that are not
used as
semantic intermediaries (NLi) is 1;
For the forming of IP1 the number of NLi are 2;
For the forming of DP2 the number of NLi are 2;
For the forming of IP2 the number of NLi are 3;
For the forming of DP3 the number of NLi are 3;
And, for the forming of all of the above described cases the number of layers
composed of
semantic intermediaries (PLi) is 2.
(RII) Requiring the first layer to be composed of xRide sets representing a
sample of
minimum three (for example words that are used as nouns only) words (wi, w2,
and w3) and
each consecutive layer to be to be composed of xRide sets of a sample of
minimum three
- 14 -

CA 02704163 2010-05-21

words forming the preceding layer. The requirement for the forming of NLi, can
be
expressed as NLi = RD1(wi, W2 ,w3) U RD2(wi, w2, w3) U RD3(wi, w2, w3), where:
if xRidc(wi) # RD1(wi) = xRide(wi) else if xRide (w2) # RD1(w2) = xRidc
(w2) else if
xRide (w3) # RD1(w3) = xRid.c (w3);
if xRidc(wi) # RD2(wi) = xRide(wi) else if xRicic (w2) # RD2(w2) = xRid
(w2) else if
xRidc (w3) # RD2 (w3) = xRide (w3);
if xRidc(wi) # (6 RD3(wi) = xRidc(wi) else if xRicic (w2) # (6 RD3(w2) = xRidc
(w2) else if
xRide (w3) # RD3(w3) = xRide (w3).
The requirements for the forming of PLi are similar to the above described
requirements for
the forming of NLi.
(RIII) Requiring that the number of sets (layers) separating the set P
composed of words
(semantic intermediaries) and L be maximum three as exemplified in Fig. 4
section C
wherein: P is the set of words that can be used as semantic intermediaries;
SY1 is a set
composed of the synonyms and antonyms of all words in P; SY2 is a set composed
of the
synonyms and antonyms of all words in SY1 and P; SY3 is a set composed of the
synonyms
and antonyms of all words in SY2, SY1 and in P; and, L is a set composed of
the synonyms
and antonyms of all words in SY3, SY2, SY1 and P and L is a set composed of
all words in
L040 {w}.
(RIV) Requiring, as exemplified in Fig. 5 section A, the forming of:
(a) BSI comprising gISm for identifying PJ1-set of semantic intermediaries
mediating
the syntactic pairing of a subject-word with a verb-word and gISm for
identifying PJ2-set of
semantic intermediaries mediating the syntactic pairing of a verb-word with a
subject-word;
(b) BS2 comprising gISm for identifying PJ3-set of semantic intermediaries
mediating
the syntactic pairing of a verb-word with an object-word and gISm for
identifying PJ4-set of
semantic intermediaries mediating the syntactic pairing of an object-word with
a verb-word;
(c) BS3 comprising gISm for identifying PJ5-set of semantic intermediaries
mediating
the syntactic pairing of a subject-word with an object-word and gISm for
identifying PJ5-set
of semantic intermediaries mediating the syntactic pairing of an object-word
with a subject-
word;
(d) BS4 comprising gISm for identifying PJ6-set of semantic intermediaries
mediating
the syntactic pairing of a subject and or object word with an adjective-word
and gISm for


- 15 -

CA 02704163 2010-05-21

identifying PJ6-set of semantic intermediaries mediating the syntactic pairing
of an
adjective-word with a subject and or object word.
(RV) Requiring (as further exemplified in Fig. 5 section A) the building of
separate gISm
for identifying:
(a) PJ1 set of semantic intermediaries of all single part of speech subject-
words, PJ1 set
of semantic intermediaries of all double part of speech subject-words, and PJ1
set of
semantic intermediaries of all triple part of speech subject-words;
(b) PJ2 set of semantic intermediaries of all single part of speech verb-
words, PJ2 set of
semantic intermediaries of all double part of speech verb-words, and PJ2 set
of semantic
intermediaries of all triple part of speech verb-words;
(c) PJ3 set of semantic intermediaries of all single part of speech verb-
words, PJ3 set of
semantic intermediaries of all double part of speech verb-words, and PJ3 set
of semantic
intermediaries of all triple part of speech verb-words;
(d) PJ4 set of semantic intermediaries of all single part of speech object-
words, PJ4 set
of semantic intermediaries of all double part of speech object-words, and PJ4
set of semantic
intermediaries of all triple part of speech object-words;
(e) PJ5 set of semantic intermediaries of all single part of speech subject
and object
words, PJ5 set of semantic intermediaries of all double part of speech subject
and object
words, PJ5 set of semantic intermediaries of all triple part of speech subject
and object
words;
(0 PJ6 set of semantic intermediaries of all single part of speech
adjectives, and
subject and object words, PJ6 set of semantic intermediaries of all double
part of speech
adjectives, and subject and object words, and PJ6 set of semantic
intermediaries of all triple
part of speech adjectives, and subject and object words.
(C) The forming of gISm(s) that comply with the requirements (RI-RV) is
explained by way of
the example BS shown in Fig. 4 section B. It should be understood, that,
although DP2 and
IP1 or DP3 and IP2 (shown in section B in Fig. 4), have the same number of NLi
they may
differ because of the use of different R-derivative sets.

2. Stage 2 of method-50 includes the following trial an error (T&E)
procedure:
2.1. T&E for identifying the part of speech tags of the words that can be
used as semantic

form a test pool
of semantic intermediaries (TPp E L040);
(iii) generating trial test output (TTo);
(iv) analyzing the merits of TPp by comparing the number of words in TTo to

and TP2 E
L040), wherein TP1 comprises words having one of the two syntactical-
complement-
joining tags that encode a particular syntactic rule, and TP1 comprises words
having
the other of the two syntactical-complement-joining tags encoding said
particular
syntactic rule. More particularly: if words having J1 ij are picked as
elements of TP1
then words having J2ij are picked as elements of TP2; if words having J3ij are

only, or
triple-part-of-speech only, and at least one word having xRiR consisting of a
large

with RV.
(v) Analyzing the merits of gISm when applied to other words having the
same PaT and

Referring back to Fig. 1, unit 06 (ADP) relates to executable by computer
instructions for
causing a computing system to carry out the steps of applying designated ISm-
prototypes. An
example of ISm-prototype is shown in Fig. 5 section B. More particularly, the
rules for executing
the expression (vtRlnlvtR12nIvR3vtlUlvtR21 vtR12n1 vtR12v IU I vR3 al vtR12)
shown in NL1 of DP1
in said figure are briefly explained as follows:
(i) generate (according to rules explained in 5 of method-30) set vtRln
if vtRln 0 go to (ii),
else generate vtR12n if vtR12n 0 go to (ii), else generate vR3vt and go to
(ii);
(ii) generate set vtR2 if vtR2 0 go to (iii), else generate vtR12n if
vtR12n 0 go to (iii), else
generate vtR12v and go to (iii);
(iii) generate set vR3a if vR3a 0 go to (iv), else generate vtR12 and go
to (iv);
(iv) generate the elements of the set formed from the union of the sets
generated at steps i, ii and
iii, and if the set is not empty go to PL1, else go to NL1 of DP2.
Accordingly, by applying all (available to the computing the system) ISm-
prototypes, input
set L040 {w} is transformed into a rule-based ontology set Lo {w} = {wl w has
Jkij and w
has PJk} wherein PJk is a set of identified semantic intermediaries,
representing all
(available to the computing system) Jkij-forms of w (unit 06). To reflect
additional features
of English Language, Lo {w} may be further developed by: adding to the initial
input set L
words such as adverbs; and representing each of said adverbs by means of PJ7
set of
identified semantic intermediaries mediating their syntactic pairing with
verbs represented by
means of PJ8 sets of identified semantic intermediaries, as schematically
exemplified in Fig.
6 section A.

Referring back to Fig. 1, unit 07 shown in section B, relates to method-070
and executable
by computer instructions for causing a computing system to carry out the steps
of method-070 for
producing output sentences from words belonging to Lo {w}. Method-070
satisfies the requirements
of LM provided by the present invention and is described relative to the
following: (1) classes of

inflectional forms; and, (2) types
of sentences.
(1) 1Gig, 3Gig, 5Gig, and 6Gig shown in Fig. 6 section A represent classes of
pairing instructions
(kgGig) for syntactic pairing of Jkii-tagged inflectional form of any word
that has PJki and
Jki2-form of any w that has PJk2 on the condition that PRI fl PJk2 . With
regard to
particulars:
(i) The class of 1Gig represents any instruction for syntactic pairing of J 1
ij-form of a
subject-word (ws) represented by means of PJ1 (set of identified semantic
intermediaries) and
a J2ii-form of a verb-word (wv) represented by means of PJ2, on the condition
that
PJ1 fl PJ2 .
More particularly:

1G4 is instruction for pairing J14-form of ws and J22-form of wv if PJ1 fl PJ2
.
For example, 1G1 represents the instruction for pairing 'birds' and 'fly'
while 1G3
represents the instruction for pairing 'a bird' and 'flies'.
Furthermore: 1G5 represents the instruction for pairing ws in a provided by
the
present invention plural with a definite article form (the birds) and a w, in
a provided by the
present invention negatory present tense plural form (do not fly); 1G6

the birds) and w, in
a provided by the present invention 'that clause' present tense plural form
(that fly); 1G8

article forms (a bird,
the bird) and w, in 'that clause' present tense third person singular form
(that flies); 1G9
represents the instruction for pairing \vs in plural without a definite
article form (birds, the
birds) and w, in a provided by the present invention 'and clause'(coordinating
conjunction
clause) present tense plural form (and fly); and so on.
(ii) The class of 3Gig (as schematically exemplified in Fig. 5 section C)
represents any
instruction for syntactic pairing of any J3ii-form of a verb-word (wv)
represented by means of

5G2 is instruction for pairing J52-form of ws and J51-form of w0, or J52-form
of w0, or

For example, 5G1 represents the instruction for pairing 'artists' with 'an
idea' the
idea', 'the ideas' and 'ideas' while 5G4 represents the instruction for
pairing 'the artist' with
'an idea' the idea', 'the ideas' and 'ideas'.
(iv) The class of 6Gig represents any instruction for syntactic pairing of
any J6ii-form of
an adjective modifier-word (wa) represented by means of PJ6 and any J6ifform
of a subject-
word (ws) or and J6ifform of an object-word (wo) represented by means of PJ6,

said method-070
may be further developed by introducing kgGig representing additional
correlations between
the elements of complex English sentences such as correlations between adverbs
and verbs,
passive transformations, possessive of nouns and etc.

Referring back to Fig. 1 (CGS), another exemplary system for implementing the
invention
includes a generator of sentences (unit 07) from words belonging to Lc, {w}
(in unit 06) and a
generator of visual and audio compositions comprising: an Expression
Fragmentizer (EF); a Visual
Motif Builder (VMB); an Audio Motif Builder (AMB); a Visual Composition
Builder (VCB); an
Audio Composition Builder (ACB); a Text-to-Speech Unit (TTSU); Display Unit
(DU); an Audio
Unit (AU); and an integrated multimedia interface system (IMIS).

Unit EF shown in Fig. 1 relates to executable by computer instructions for
causing a
computing system to carry out steps for receiving and fragmentizing an input
sentence (generated by
unit 07) into a sequence of fragments (Sf). More particularly, EF is
configured to allow the
preservation, or the reduction, or the expansion of the number (N) of input
symbols (Yi, i = 1, 2, ...)
relative to the number (M) of output fragments (Fj, j = 1, 2, ...).
Accordingly: N is preserved when
one Yi of the input is represented by one Fj, hence N = M; N is reduced when
two or more Yi of the
input are represented by one Fj, hence N> M; and, N is expanded when one Yi is
represented by
more than one Fj, hence N < M.

Unit VMB shown in Fig. 1 relates to executable by computer instructions for
causing a
computing system to carry out the steps for converting of an input sequence of
fragments (SO
generated by EF into visual motifs (Vm). More particularly, VMB builds a
visual motif by assigning
to each input fragment: a color from a Color Palette (CoP); a shape from a
Shape Palette (ShP); and
size from a Size Palette (SiP). The term CoP as used herein refers to colors
available to the unit. The
term ShP as used herein refers to different manually created and/or computer
generated two or three
dimensional 'shapes' available to the unit. The term SiP as used herein refers
to size of the shapes
available to the unit.

Unit VCB shown in Fig. 1 relates to executable by computer instructions for
causing a
computing system to carry out steps for building a visual composition (Vc)
from an input motif
(Vm) generated by VMB. More particularly, VCB builds a visual composition by
selecting a panel
size from a Panel Size Palette (PSP), a panel background color from a Panel
background Color
Palette (PCP), and a motif replication space from a motif Replication Space
Palette (RSP). The term
PSP as used herein refers to panel sizes available to the unit. The term PCP
as used herein refers to
background colors of the panel available to the unit. The term RSP as used
herein refers to manually
created and/or computer generated two or three dimensional forms within of the
boundaries of

which the motif is replicated. Fig. 7 contains gray scale examples of visual
compositions generated
by the visual composition builder from one and the same input sequence of
fragments.

Unit DU shown in Fig. 1 relates to computer controlled imaging (output)
devices such as
displays, projectors, and etc. which allow the visualization of the
compositions generated by VCB.
Unit DU also relates to any printing computer peripheral (2D and 3D printers)
that puts the
generated by the present invention sentences and compositions on paper or on
another medium, such
as a fabric, plastic, and etc.

Unit AMB shown in Fig. 1 relates to executable by computer instructions for
causing a
computing system to carry out steps for converting of an input sequence of
fragments (SO generated
by EF into audio motifs (Af). More particularly, AMB builds an audio motif by
assigning directly to
each of the fragments sampled sound or short samples of music from a Sound
Palette (SP), or by
using the fragments to create a MIDI type of motifs from a MIDI Palette (MP).
The terms AP and
MP as used herein refer to prerecorded and or computer generated audio effects
available to the unit.

Unit ACB shown in Fig. 1 relates to executable by computer instructions for
causing a
computing system to carry out steps for building an audio composition from an
input motif (Am) or
a sequence of input motifs generated by AMB. More particularly, ACB builds an
audio composition
(Ac) by selecting the audio composition control parameters from an audio
composition control
parameters palette (ARP). The control parameters available to the unit include
a motif s repetition
number, motifs' overlapping, volume, tempo, and panning. The ARP may be
configured to allow
rules on music composition to be applied.

Unit TTSU shown in Fig. 1 relates to executable by computer instructions for
causing a
computing system to carry out steps for converting input generated by the NLG
component of the
present invention to speech using available to the unit text-to-speech engines
such as FreeTTS.

Unit AU shown in Fig. 1 relates to computer controlled audio output device on
which the
audio composition generated by ACB and TTSU can be reproduced or recorded.

The IMIS unit shown in Fig. 1 relates to an integrated multimedia interface
system, in which
the video and audio compositions can be simultaneously displayed.
