  • Patent number: 10839134
    Abstract: Elements in source data statements are matched to respective one or more entries in an ontology associated with a domain that had been selected for the source data statements. The source data statements had been received for a request. The ontology includes items and relationships that define the selected domain. The one or more entries are assigned to the matched elements, respectively, to annotate each matched element with a respective annotation consisting of the respective one or more entries. The annotated elements are saved with the respective annotations. The annotations are used to generate a search query for the request.

  • Patent number: 10162885
    Abstract: A method for providing information to a user in response to a received user query. A natural language analysis generates substrings relevant to an input user query pertaining to a problem a user experiences with a product or service. An ontology analysis outputs: terms of an ontology matching the relevant generated substrings; and relationships between the terms. Elements of a perfect or complete query are captured and include information pertaining to the user's problem. The input user query is refined based on the outputted terms and relationships between the terms. A search query is performed, based on the refined user query. The results of the search are provided to the user.

    Abstract: A method for providing information to a user in response to a received user query. A natural language analysis generates substrings relevant to an input user query pertaining to a problem a user experiences with a product or service. An ontology analysis outputs: terms ontology matching the relevant generated substrings; and relationships between the terms. Elements of a perfect or complete query are captured and include information pertaining to the user's problem. The input user query is refined based on the outputted terms and relationships between the terms. A search query is performed, based on the refined user query. The results of the search are provided to the user.

  • Publication number: 20180218067
    Abstract: A system for implementing a method that provides information to a user in response to a received user query. A natural language analysis generates substrings relevant to the user query. An ontology analysis outputs: terms of an ontology matching the relevant generated substrings; and relationships between the terms. A query analysis analyzes the user query regarding the outputted terms and relationships, including ascertaining whether the user query is more suitable for service than for an information search. If it is so ascertained, then service actions for the user to perform are identified to the user. If it is not so ascertained, then: the user query is refined based on the outputted terms and relationships; a search query is generated based on the refined user query, a search is initiated based on the search query, and results of the search are provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 9734130
    Abstract: Source data statements that had been received for the request are semantically analyzed, which includes matching elements in the received source data statements to respective one or more entries in an ontology associated with a domain that had been selected for the received source data statements. The ontology includes items and relationships that define the selected domain. Each element in the received source data statements is a word or a phrase. The one or more entries are assigned to the matched elements, respectively, to annotate each matched element with a respective annotation consisting of the respective one or more entries. The annotated elements are saved with the respective annotations. The annotations are used to generate a search query for the request.
