  • Patent number: 9514408
    Abstract: Methods for constructing and maintaining knowledge representation systems are disclosed herein. The knowledge representation system is initially organized and populated using knowledge engineers. After the initial organization, scientific domain experts digest and structure source texts for direct entry into the knowledge representation system using templates created by the knowledge engineers. These templates constrain both the form and content of the digested information, allowing it to be entered directly into the knowledge representation system. Although knowledge engineers are available to evaluate and dispose of those instances when the digested information cannot be entered in the form required by the templates, their role is much reduced from conventional knowledge representation system construction methods. The methods disclosed herein permit the construction and maintenance of a much larger knowledge representation system than could be constructed and maintained using known methods.

  • Patent number: 8392353
    Abstract: Methods for constructing and maintaining knowledge representation systems (KRS) are disclosed. The KRS is initially organized and populated using knowledge engineers. After initial organization, scientific domain experts digest and structure source texts for direct entry into the KRS using templates. These templates constrain both the form and content of the digested information, allowing it to be entered directly into the KRS. The methods disclosed herein permit the construction and maintenance of a much larger KRS than could be constructed and maintained using known methods. Fact type specific fact templates are completed, accepting predefined fact types found in predetermined information sources. Fact template may comprise a user interface that constrains user entry to one of a predetermined set of valid entries. The user interface may include a user field that permits entry of new information not included in the predetermined set of valid user entries.

  • Patent number: 7650339
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for extracting information from a plurality of articles in a distributed manner and for storing the extracted information in an information store. The invention identifies a plurality of articles from which information is to be extracted and a plurality of information extractors for extracting the information from the articles. Each article is assigned a priority score and ranking the articles from highest to lowest priority, thereby generating a queue; wherein the priority score for each article is calculated using a user-configurable priority calculation algorithm. The plurality of articles is assigned to the plurality of information extractors based on order in the queue, wherein an article with a higher rank is presented for information extraction before an article with a lower rank. Information extracted by information extractors from the articles is stored in the information store.
