Abstract:

A method and system is provided for the interpretation of information communicated in disparate dialects. The method and system includes a general parser receiving audit reports having data in multiple dialects including unknown dialects. An interpretation module extracts the data from the audit reports and interprets the data while a validation module analyzes the results of the interpretation. For unknown dialects, the general parser either marks an audit report as having an unknown dialect or invokes the learning module which acquires the unknown dialect. The learning module creates a provisional interpretation module and a provisional validation module for the unknown dialect using the data in the unknown dialect audit report. The learning module tests the provisional interpretation module and provisional validation module with additional audit reports having the same dialect as the audit report used to create them and with successful testing are assumed to be correct.
