Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field Of The Invention [0002] Aspects of the present invention relate to computing systems. More particularly, aspects of the present invention relate to a process for parsing hierarchical lists and outlines from received information. [0003] 2. Description Of Related Art [0004] People record information in a variety of formats. Sometimes the information is recorded in paragraphs. In some cases, paragraphs are recorded in a hierarchical format in an outlined or bulleted form. [0005] Computing systems have attempted to recognize the format in which people record information. This approach has resulted in computer recognition systems that parse information and attempt to reproduce its form for latter use or modification. Current systems do not adequately parse received information as desired. In many cases, the received information is incorrectly-parsed, thereby making a resulting hierarchical form unusable as the form needs to be edited by a user to achieve a desired form. [0006] An improved parsing system and process are needed. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] Aspects of the present invention address one or more of the problems described above, thereby providing a process for robustly parsing hierarchical information. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0008] The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limited in the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements and in which: [0009] FIG. 1 shows an illustrative example of a general-purpose computing environment in accordance with aspects of the present invention. [0010] FIG. 2 shows an illustrative example of a tablet computer in accordance with aspects of the present invention. [0011] FIGS. 3-4 show various techniques for parsing hierarchical information. [0012] FIG. 5 shows another technique for parsing hierarchical information in accordance with aspects of the present invention. [0013] FIG. 6 shows processes for assigning labels to hierarchical information in accordance with aspects of the present invention. [0014] FIG. 7 shows a comparison of percentage of errors versus a realized error rate in accordance with aspects of the present invention. [0015] FIGS. 8-12 show various examples of hierarchical information in accordance with aspects of the present invention. [0016] FIG. 13 shows a user interface for creating training examples in accordance with aspects of the present invention. [0017] FIG. 14 shows an illustrative process for creating training examples in accordance with aspects of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0018] Aspects of the present invention relate to parsing and recognizing hierarchical information. Once recognized, labels may be assigned to represent the various hierarchical levels. Subsequent processes may respond to the assigning labels and, for example, modify the hierarchical information. [0019] This document is divided into sections to assist the reader. These sections include: hierarchical information, characteristics of ink, terms, general-purpose computing environment, processes for parsing of hierarchical information, examples of parsing of hierarchical information, and training examples. [0020] It is noted that various connections are set forth between elements in the following description. It is noted that these connections in general and, unless specified otherwise, may be direct or indirect and that this specification is not intended to be limiting in this respect.
