  • Patent number: 11176124
    Abstract: A set of first results from a first query are received. Using a natural language processing technique, a set of second results using a second query having at least a portion of the first query and at least a portion of set of first results are generated, wherein the natural language processing technique comprises a machine learning model configured to analyze the set of first results. The set of second results are scored based upon a semantic comparison of the set of first results, the second query, and the set of second results. Using the scored set of the second results, a set of processed results are generated.

  • Publication number: 20200118022
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for determining comprehensiveness of a question paper given a syllabus of topics. An answer and evidence generator of a question answering system executing on the data processing system finds one or more answers based on the syllabus of topics for each question in the question paper. The answer and evidence generator identifies evidence for the one or more answers in the syllabus for each question in the question paper. A concept identifier of the question answering system identifies a set of concepts in the syllabus corresponding to the evidence for each question in the question paper to form a plurality of sets of concepts. The mechanism determines a value for a comprehensiveness metric for the question paper with respect to the syllabus of topics based on the plurality of sets of concepts.

  • Patent number: 9652715
    Abstract: A computer processor determines a first span of a communication, wherein a span includes content associated with one or more dialog statements. If the content of the first span contains one or more topic change indicators which are identified by at least one detector of a learning model, the computer processor, in response, generates scores for each of the one or more indicators. The computer processor aggregates scores of the one or more indicators of the first span, which may be weighted, to produce an aggregate score. The computer processor compares the aggregate score to a threshold value, wherein the threshold value is determined during training of the learning model, and the computer processor, in response to the aggregate score crossing the threshold value, determines a topic change has occurred within the first span.
