  • Search space reduction for knowledge graph querying and interactions
    Patent number: 11157540
    Abstract: A search space can be reduced using a pruned ontology that comprises entities from an initial ontology. A document corpus having a plurality of documents is received for processing. An ontology pruner determines a set of entities in the plurality of documents. For each entity in the set of entities, the ontology pruner determines a link for the entity in the initial ontology. The ontology pruner determines a score for the entity based on information obtained through the link for the entity in the initial ontology. The ontology pruner omits the entity from the pruned ontology if the score is below a predetermined or configurable threshold value.
