Patent number: 10657205Abstract: An architecture and processes enable computer learning and developing an understanding of arbitrary natural language text through collaboration with humans in the context of joint problem solving. The architecture ingests the text and then syntactically and semantically processes the text to infer an initial understanding of the text. The initial understanding is captured in a story model of semantic and frame structures. The story model is then tested through computer generated questions that are posed to humans through interactive dialog sessions. The knowledge gleaned from the humans is used to update the story model as well as the computing system's current world model of understanding. The process is repeated for multiple stories over time, enabling the computing system to grow in knowledge and thereby understand stories of increasingly higher reading comprehension levels.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: ELEMENTAL COGNITION LLCInventors: David Ferrucci, Mike Barborak, David Buchanan, Greg Burnham, Jennifer Chu-Carroll, Aditya Kalyanpur, Adam Lally, Stefano Pacifico, Chang Wang
