Basic Examples  (5)

Get a list of all possible interpretations:

Wolfram Language code: SemanticInterpretation["congo", AmbiguityFunction -> All]

AmbiguityList may include a substring whose interpretation is ambiguous:

Wolfram Language code: SemanticInterpretation["bessel(1,2)", AmbiguityFunction -> All]

Each interpretation may have an Association describing the nature of the corresponding choice:

Wolfram Language code: SemanticInterpretation["12 10 11", _DateObject, AmbiguityFunction -> All]

Ambiguities can be nested:

Wolfram Language code: SemanticInterpretation["12 10 11", _, Hold, AmbiguityFunction -> All]

Ambiguities can appear within expressions:

Wolfram Language code: SemanticInterpretation["springfield, lincoln, boston", AmbiguityFunction -> All]
