... substrings2
We consider two substrings to be the same string if they contain the same characters in the same order, irrespective of their positions within the larger string in which they occur.

These words may, however, serve as cues to a parser on how to assemble sentence meanings from word meanings.

The CPU times of the two system are not directly comparable since one is written in Prolog and the other in Lisp. However, the learning time of the two systems is approximately the same if Siskind's system is run in incremental mode, just a few seconds with 225 training examples.
