Abstract: A first user and a second user may exchange messages during a session and the exchanged messages may be processed to suggest resources to the first user. For example, the first user may be a customer service representative assisting a customer, and the suggested resources may include text of a message to send to the customer. The resources may be suggested by computing a semantic representation of the messages in the session, computing a context vector that describes a context of the session, computing a context hash vector from the context vector, and retrieving one or more resources from a data store of resources using the context hash vector. Information about a resource may be presented to the first user to assist the first user in responding to the second user.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for question answering using context features in closure form. The mechanism receives a function call comprising an input question and a set of non-local context evidence in closure form. The mechanism decomposes the input question into one or more queries and applies the one or more queries to a corpus of information to obtain a set of local hypothesis evidence. The mechanism generates hypotheses for answering the input question based on the local hypothesis evidence and the set of non-local context evidence.

A data structure or schema of an incoming data set is initially mapped to a desired data or knowledge state in a domain ontology made up of a number of TBox statements. Data quality issues in the incoming data set can then be detected as instances of the incoming data set are attempted to be inferenced against or otherwise matched to anticipated TBox statements of the domain ontology.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for predictive modeling based on interactions with a network device. For example, a method may include generating a prediction including a correlation between an interaction with a network device and a context, wherein the interaction is associated with a function performed by the network device.

The prediction can be tested by analyzing received interaction data and contextual data, and the analysis can include determining whether the interaction with the network device occurred in the correlated context. A confidence value can be calculated based on the testing outcome, and can be compared to the confidence parameters. A message relating to modification of the confidence parameters can be transmitted.

Abstract: A neural network includes inputs for receiving input signals, and synapses connected to the inputs and having corrective weights organized in an array. Training images are either received by the inputs as an array or codified as such during training of the network. The network also includes neurons, each having an output connected with at least one input via one synapse and generating a neuron sum array by summing corrective weights selected from each synapse connected to the respective neuron. Furthermore, the network includes a controller that receives desired images in an array, determines a deviation of the neuron sum array from the desired output value array, and generates a deviation array. The controller modifies the corrective weight array using the deviation array. Adding up the modified corrective weights to determine the neuron sum array reduces the subject deviation and generates a trained corrective weight array for concurrent network training.

Other content items in the content repository are then identified as potential suggestions based on the application of a formal relationship between the first content item and the potential suggested content items. One or more of the potential suggested content items may then be provided in response to the suggestion request via the network.
