Abstract
A system for automatically generating a dictionary from full text articles extracts <term, definition> pairs from full text articles and stores the <term, definition> pairs as dictionary entries. The system includes a computer readable corpus having a plurality of documents therein. A pattern processing module () and a grammar processing module () are provided for extracting <term, definition> pairs from the corpus and storing the <term, definition> pairs in a dictionary database (). A routing processing module selectively routes sentences in the corpus to at least one of the pattern processing module or grammar processing module. In one embodiment, the routing module is incorporated into the pattern processing module which then selectively routes a portion of the sentences to the grammar processing module. A bootstrapping processing module () can be used to apply <term, definition> entries against the corpus to identify and extract additional <terms, definition> entries.
