  • Patent number: 11429791
    Abstract: An application automatically composed using natural language processing. A natural language input comprising one or more application requirements is received via an interface. The natural language input is parsed to extract one or more chunks, each chunk representing one of the application requirements, and at least one of the chunks representing at least one of one or more main functionalities described by the application requirements. A coarse architecture logically arranging the main functionalities to satisfy the application requirements is inferred according to the chunks. Existing assets corresponding to the chunks are identified, each asset associated with at least one of the main functionalities. The identified assets are assembled according to the coarse architecture. The assembled assets are deployed as an application.

  • Patent number: 11055488
    Abstract: A computer system, method, and computer readable product are provided for cognitive initialization of large-scale advection-diffusion models. In various embodiments, parameters are identified for configuring an advection-diffusion model to be run. Then a natural language processing search is conducted for these parameters in relevant literature to find corresponding numerical values. These search results are compared, and values for the parameters are set for the advection-diffusion model, and the model is run.

  • Patent number: 11003716
    Abstract: Embodiments for discovery and analysis of interpersonal relationships from a collection of unstructured text data by a processor. A relationship between one or more entities and extracted text data from a plurality of unstructured text data may be identified such that the relationship includes a sentiment of the relationship, a type of relationship, temporal information, or a combination thereof. The one or more entities may be associated with a knowledge graph based on an ontology of concepts representing a domain knowledge. The extracted information and the identified relationship may be automatically aggregated into a multi-graph representation.

  • Publication number: 20210073335
    Abstract: Embodiments for semantic analysis of table content are provided. A document that includes a table portion and a non-table portion is received. A table result within the table portion of the document is identified. Contextual content associated with the table result is extracted from the non-table portion of the document. A data structure is generated for the table result. The data structure includes the table result and the contextual content associated with the table result.

  • Patent number: 10169332
    Abstract: A distributed computer system includes a distributed processor, a distributed memory, and a simulation engine (SE). The SE includes a simulation I/O coupler that links a first variable of a first simulation model I/O data structure to a second variable of a second simulation model I/O data structure. The SE includes a natural language processing system that extracts a first variable description associated with the first variable, determines similar character strings to the first variable description from an information corpus, and ranks the determined character strings based upon similarity to the first variable description. The SE links the first variable to the second variable if the rank of an equal character string to the second variable description is greater than a rank threshold. The SE may augment the simulation model I/O data structures by writing a value of the first variable to a value of the second variable, or visa versa.

  • Patent number: 9652450
    Abstract: A method for automatically extracting claim candidates from complex sentences includes providing a parse tree of a text sample to be analyzed, disassembling the parse tree into a set of basic meaning-bearing clauses, assembling clauses of the set of basic clauses into a set of complex coherent statements based on permissible syntactic structures, testing the complex statements and discarding those statements that are not coherent when considered alone, discarding those complex statements that either do not provide additional information about a subject, or are too complex, removing information from a complex statement that provides supportive details about the subject, and discarding statements that restrict their subject, so that the subject cannot be generalized encompass a broader subject.
