  • Patent number: 11645450
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach displays a graphical editor and a text editor concurrently on a display. The text editor displays a document text that includes multiple entities and the graphical editor displays multiple nodes corresponding to the multiple entities. In response to receiving a user selection on the graphical editor that selects a first one of the multiple nodes, the approach identifies, based on the document text, one or more second nodes that correspond to the first node and repositions the one or more second nodes to a second position on the graphical editor based on a first position of the first node.

  • Patent number: 11163806
    Abstract: The present invention may be a method, a computer system, and/or a computer program product. An embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-implemented method for obtaining one or more candidates for a relationship type and its label. The method comprises the following steps: analyzing a document annotated with entity types, the analysis comprising counting the number of pairs of co-occurring entity types in each sentence in the document, and judging whether there exists, in the document, a candidate for a label of a relationship type which shows relationship between or among the co-occurring entity types and, if the judgment is positive, storing a candidate for the relationship type and a candidate for its label; and outputting a result of the analysis. The method may further comprise, if the judgment is negative, storing a candidate for the relationship type without a candidate for its label.

  • Patent number: 11074402
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for text annotation. The system includes at least one processing component, at least one memory component, an annotation corpus, and a document processor. The document processor is configured to receive a document including at least one annotated text span. The at least one annotated text span is annotated with a type from a type system (e.g., a domain-specific type system). The document processor is also configured to extract linguistic features of the at least one annotated text span, and generate a type attribute for the type based on the extracted linguistic features. Further, the document processor is configured to receive a new annotated text span, which is annotated with the type. The document processor extracts linguistic features of the new annotated text span, and determines whether the linguistic features match the type attribute.

  • Publication number: 20210216703
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which the approach displays a graphical editor and a text editor concurrently on a display. The text editor displays a document text that includes multiple entities and the graphical editor displays multiple nodes corresponding to the multiple entities. In response to receiving a user selection on the graphical editor that selects a first one of the multiple nodes, the approach identifies, based on the document text, one or more second nodes that correspond to the first node and repositions the one or more second nodes to a second position on the graphical editor based on a first position of the first node.

  • Patent number: 11017162
    Abstract: An approach is provided in which an information handling system displays a first editor on a display that displays nodes corresponding to entities included in a document text. In response to receiving a user selection corresponding to a first one of the nodes, the information handling system identifies one or more second nodes corresponding to the first node based on the document text. In turn, the information handling system repositions the one or more second nodes to a second position on the first editor based on a first position of the first node.
