Automatic distillation of structure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Automatic Distillation of Structure (ADIOS) is an algorithm that can analyse source material such as text and come up with meaningful information about the structures used in the source. One application of the algorithm is grammar: ADIOS can read a source text and teach itself grammatical rules based on structures and patterns found in the text. Using these, the system can then produce new, meaningful sentences.

ADIOS was developed by scientists from Cornell University, New York, USA and Tel Aviv University, Israel.
