Automatic Rule Generation (RUG)

In VisualText, rules can be automatically generated from text samples. In our corporate analyzer, we use the Gram Tab much like a "dictionary". More complex samples with subsamples can also be managed in the Gram Tab.

Stubs

Stubs are place holders where the automatically generated rules will appear in the Analyzer Sequence. Notice that the icon for words above matches the "stub_words" pass below, taken from the Analyzer Tab:

If you double click on a rule concept (one with a right-pointing arrow) such as "company", you can see its corresponding pass file containing automatically generated rules:
