  • Patent number: 10789552
    Abstract: Generating distractors for text-based MCT items. An MCT item stem is received. The stem is transmitted to a QA system and a plurality of candidate answers related to the stem is received from the QA system. Incorrect answers in the plurality of candidate answers are identified. Textual features are extracted from the stem. A set of semantic criteria associated with the extracted textual features is generated. Based on the generated semantic criteria, a subset of the incorrect candidate answers is selected.

  • Patent number: 10579340
    Abstract: Model element characteristic preservation is provided when instantiating unified modeling language elements of a unified modeling language model. Requirements management tool elements become associated with a stereotype via, for instance, user assignment of the stereotype to a requirements type of the requirements management project. A stereotype assignment is obtained for a requirements management tool element, and the stereotype is automatically applied when instantiating a UML element representative of the requirements management tool element. Nesting and traceability relationships between the requirements management tool element and other requirements management tool elements are additionally preserved.

  • Patent number: 10133732
    Abstract: A method and system for improving location specific (L) functions is provided. The method includes generating and maintaining an online L-word dictionary. Location specific attributes, settings, and preferences associated with a current location of a mobile device and a user are retrieved. An input question is received and an NLP analysis with respect to the input question is executed to extract a required value phrase. An interim question based on an extracted required value phrase is formed and an answer to the input question is determined in natural language based on a solved interim question. The answer is narrated in natural language and includes an automated interactive response from a hardware device in real time.

  • Patent number: 9940114
    Abstract: An approach is provided for managing a deployment of a software package. First and second quality assurance (QA) seals are determined to match exactly one QA seal and no QA seal, respectively, in a plurality of QA seals. First details about hardware, middleware, and applications required in a first environment, which are included in the first QA seal, are determined to match second details of the first environment. Based on the first QA seal matching exactly one QA seal and the first details matching the second details, the software package is determined to be compatible with the first environment and a notification is generated authorizing the deployment of the software package to the first environment. Based on the second QA seal not matching any of the plurality of QA seals, a notification is generated indicating that the deployment of the software package to a second environment is not authorized.
