  • Solving textual logic problems using a statistical approach and natural language processing
    Patent number: 11042702
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for solving a textual logic problem. A logic problem solution engine in the data processing system receives an input text containing a logic problem. A parser executing in the data processing system parses the input text to identify entities in the input text. The logic problem solution engine performs cognitive processing on the input text to discover relationships between the entities. A statistical analysis component executing in the data processing system determines statistical relationships between pairs of entities in the input text to form a set of statistical relationships. The logic problem solution engine determines whether a given statistical relationship within the set of statistical relationships fits as a solution to the logic problem.

  • Identifying logic problems in text using a statistical approach and natural language processing
    Patent number: 10592603
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for identifying a logic problem to be solved in an input text. A parser executing in the data processing system parses the input text to identify entities in the input text. A statistical analysis component executing in the data processing system determines statistical relationships between pairs of entities in the input text to form a set of statistical relationships. A logic problem detection engine executing in the data processing system determines whether the set of statistical relationships includes a high density of standard relationships and one or more outlier relationships. Responsive to determining that the set of statistical relationships includes a high density of standard relationships and one or more outlier relationships, the mechanism presents an indication that the input text includes a logic problem to a user.
