A system and method for generating a frame of reference for a plurality of information, the plurality of information containing text data and obtained by a user through interaction with one or more information sources. The method and system include receiving selected information for analysis, the information including a plurality of text data and identifying a plurality of logical units of the text data. Also included are identifying a plurality of individual textual portions in each of the logical units and calculating the number of logical units associated with each of the individual textual portions of the plurality of textual portions for use in identifying a plurality of patterns including a respective pattern for each of the individual textual portions. Based on the identified patterns, a measure of importance for each of the plurality of patterns is calculated and respective patterns from the plurality of patterns are selected based on their corresponding measure of importance satisfying a predefined pattern importance threshold for retaining the respective patterns in the plurality of patterns. Further, a plurality of information context definitions is generated based on the selected respective patterns and the generated information context definitions are assigned as context definitions of a semantic context associated with the frame of reference. The plurality of information is related to each other and such relation is represented by the generated context definitions of the semantic context.

A method of, and system for, generating a sentence from a semantic representation maps the semantic representation to an unordered set of syntactic nodes. Simplified generation grammar rules and statistical goodness measure values from a corresponding analysis grammar are then used to create a tree structure to order the syntactic nodes. The sentence is then generated from the tree structure. The generation grammar is a simplified (context free) version of a corresponding full (context sensitive) analysis grammar. In the generation grammar, conditions on each rule are ignored except those directly related to the semantic representation. The statistical goodness measure values, which are calculated through an analysis training phase in which a corpus of example sentences is processed using the full analysis grammar, are used to guide the generation choice to prefer substructures most commonly found in a particular syntactic / semantic context during analysis.

A computerized interactor system uses physical, three-dimensional objects as metaphors for input of user intent to a computer system. When one or more interactors are engaged with a detection field, the detection field reads an identifier associated with the object and communicates the identifier to a computer system. The computer system determines the meaning of the interactor based upon its identifier and upon a semantic context in which the computer system is operating. The interactors can be used to control other systems, such as audio systems, or it can be used as intuitive inputs into a computer system for such purposes as marking events in a temporal flow. The interactors, as a minimum, communicate their identity, but may also be more sophisticated in that they can communicate additional processed or unprocessed data, i.e. they can include their own data processors. The detection field can be one-dimensional or multi-dimensional, and typically has different semantic meanings associated with different parts of the detection field.
