Publication number: 20200034421Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2017Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: Elemental Cognition LLCInventors: David Ferrucci, Mike Barborak, David Buchanan, Greg Burnham, Jennifer Chu--Carroll, Aditya Kalyanpur, Adam Lally, Stefano Pacifico, Chang Wang

Publication number: 20200034411Abstract: Link association analysis systems are presented. Disclosed systems are configured to analyze links created by users and to determine possible reasons underpinning why a user would create such a link. The system derives such reasons by analyzing the context within which the link was created and to which the link points, and then presents the reasons as a data object to users for feedback. The system can be made to be self-refining by collecting survey data regarding its accuracy, so that the more users interact with the system, the more accurate the system is at deriving reasons for link creation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Luke Soon-Shiong, Patrick Soon-Shiong
