  • Contextual updating of existing documents using natural language processing
    Patent number: 9292495
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for contextual updating of existing documents using natural language processing (NLP) are provided in the illustrative embodiments. Information is received about a subject-matter domain. A portion of the existing document is identified, where the portion corresponds to the subject-matter domain. A search query is formed based on the portion, wherein the search query returns a result set, the result set including current information corresponding to the subject-matter domain, the current information being recent as compared to an age of the portion. A natural language (NL) update content is formed by processing the current information through an NLP application. The existing document is updated using the NL update content.
