  • Publication number: 20200218502
    Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods and computer program products for providing custom renderings with natural language responses are provided. Aspects include storing a plurality of tags parsers. Aspects include transmitting a request comprising request data that represents a user utterance input into a user device. Aspects include determining a type of device associated with the user device and a type of communication channel used by the user device to transmit the request. Aspects include receiving a cognitive output comprising response text and structured data. Aspects include parsing one or more tags associated with the structured data of the cognitive output based on the application of one or more tag parsers of the plurality of tag parsers to the cognitive output. Aspects also include generating a customized response rendering for display by the user device.

  • Patent number: 6993518
    Abstract: A method and system for diagnosing data problems in a database. The system provides a test program for running simultaneously a series of tests on the database. In the test program, a set of queries corresponding to the series of tests are defined. Then these queries are refined as fields of a larger query, such that the test results appear merely as small tables. This technique can be implemented using SQL commands “WITH” and “LEFT OUTER JOIN.” The test program is configured to display automatically all the results from the tests in one table. By simply running the test program and viewing the table showing all the test results, an operator is able to diagnose easily the nature and location of the data problem(s) in the database.
