A computing system including one or more processors generates a topic set for a domain. A taxonomic evaluator is executed by the one or more processors to evaluate a set of category clusters generated from domain-specific textual data against a domain-specific taxonomic tree based on a coherency condition and to identify the category clusters that satisfy the coherency condition. The domain-specific taxonomic tree is generated from hierarchical structures of documents relating to the domain. Each identified category cluster is labeled with a label. A topic set creator is executed by the one or more processors to insert the labels of the set of identified category clusters into the topic set for the domain.

A system for synchronizing a natural language input element and a graphical user interface has a synchronization engine. The synchronization engine is adapted to monitor user interactions with the natural language input element and the graphical user interface and to synchronize the natural language input element and the graphical user interface responsive to the user interactions.

Semantic canvas

The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods for performing natural language processing in which natural language input is mapped to a task. The system includes a task interface for defining a task, the associated data and the manner in which the task data is interpreted. Furthermore, the system provides a framework that manages the tasks to facilitate natural language processing. The task interface and framework can be used to provide natural language processing capabilities to third party applications. Additionally, the task framework can learn or be trained based upon feedback received from the third party applications.
