Abstract: A system and method for generating a natural language answer for one or more user queries. The method encompasses receiving, the one or more user queries. Further the method leads to receiving, an information comprising at least one set of candidates, from a plurality of information sources. The method further comprises identifying, a set of target candidates from the at least one set of candidates based on a relevancy score. Thereafter the method encompasses removing, one or more ambiguities present in the set of target candidates based at least on a sentiment analysis. The method further comprises identifying, a set of relevant candidates from the set of target candidates based on the removal of the one or more ambiguities. Further the method encompasses generating, the natural language answer for the one or more user queries based at least on their corresponding set of relevant candidates.

Abstract: Improved techniques of fulfilling a request to perform a task involve a master computer placing the request in a first queue and a copy of the request in a second queue, the second queue being frequently accessed by a set of worker computers which rapidly scans the second queue for requests to fulfill. If, during the scanning, a worker computer determines that it has a capability to fulfill the request, the worker computer removes the copy of the request from the second queue. Furthermore, if the copy of the request remains in the second queue after a brief time period, it is clear that the set of worker computers is unable to perform the task. In this case, the master computer takes a remedial action such as notifying a client computer which sent the request that the worker computers, as currently configured, are unable to perform the task.
