Abstract: The temporal stability of an answer from a deep question answering system is predicted using a natural language classifier. A training corpus is divided into time-ordered slices having uniform granularity. A series of candidate answers to a training question is generated based on the slices, and a temporal profile for the series is identified by associating candidate answers with respective temporal intervals. The temporal profile is translated to a temporal stability value (representing a time period) using a temporal stability model. The classifier is trained using such training questions correlated with respective temporal stability values. Thereafter, when a user submits a natural language query to the deep question answering system, the query is also applied to the classifier which determines its temporal stability. The temporal stability is presented to the user with the answer to give a sense of how long the answer can be deemed reliable.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for metadata favored replication in an active/active topology. When replicating data objects between multiple storage systems, metadata is sent first while the associated data content is sent at a subsequent time. Metadata is stored and made visible on a target storage system thereby reserving the object path in a namespace to reduce collisions in the namespace. After metadata is transferred to the target storage system, the target system performs collision processing to determine if an object already exists in the namespace prior to receiving the transferred metadata. After collision processing is performed, the winning object is made visible for access on the target storage system regardless of whether the associated data content has been transferred to the target system.
