US Patent 10956680 System and method for temporal expressions processing

Embodiments of the present disclosure resolve natural language temporal expressions into temporal values via a temporal expressions processor that parses a given temporal expression into one or more semantic parses, selects an optimal semantic parse and resolves a value for the optimal semantic parse. The temporal values may pertain to one or more calendar dates, one or more calendar periods, one or more clock times, a clock time period and/or a combination of the above.
