Abstract

We have implemented a new network information processing system using reconfigurable hardware that scans volumes of data in real-time. One of the key functions of the system is to extract semantic information. Before we can determine the meaning of text, we must identify its language. In a previous project, we have implemented an N-gram based language identifier that can process up to 1 Gbps throughput. However, a large percentage of computer network traffic, such as email and Web data, consists of markup information such as tags and protocol specific options. This additional data interferes with the language identification process causing decreased accuracy. Thus, we developed a hardware architecture for configurable application level processing. Our Application Level Processing System (ALPS) is a custom processor that is automatically generated using syntactic structure of the content. The resulting …
