Abstract: A computer device receives a request to search a corpus of documents for an entity, wherein the request includes a non-name identifier of the entity. The computing device identifies entries of text within the corpus of documents that reference the non-name identifier. The computing device applies natural language processing (NLP) to content associated with the identified entries within the corpus of documents, wherein the NLP identifies candidate entities associated with the non-name identifier. The computing device selects an entity from the candidate entities based, at least in part, on distances between the candidate entities and references to the non-name identifier in the identified entries. The computing device returns the selected entity to a submitter of the request.

Abstract: An embodiment for expanding a search query is provided. The embodiment may include receiving a stopping criterion for stopping a search. The embodiment may also include receiving an initial search query. The embodiment may further include submitting the initial search query to an information retrieval system. The embodiment may also include identifying enrichment terms from the retrieved initial set of documents. The embodiment may further include generating a subsequent search query that includes one or more enrichment terms from the retrieved initial set of documents. The embodiment may also include submitting the subsequent search query to the information retrieval system. The embodiment may further include determining whether the stopping criterion is met, and in response to determining the stopping criterion is not met, iterating identifying, generating, submitting steps until the stopping criterion is met.

Abstract: An embodiment includes tokenizing an input passage into an n-gram sequence of tokens. The embodiment also includes evaluating the input passage using a trained classification model that generates an output indicative of a classification of the input passage. The embodiment also includes generating a first token vector for a first token of the sequence of tokens and projecting the first token vector to a higher dimensional space, resulting in a first projected token vector. The embodiment also includes generating a first similarity score for the first projected token vector based on comparisons of the first projected token vector to each of a plurality of class representations. The embodiment also includes generating a ranked list of the tokens, wherein the generating of the ranked list includes ranking the first token among others of the tokens based on the first similarity score.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to selectively amend one or more document elements. A first document is subjected to natural language processing (NLP) and two or more document characteristics are subjected to an assessment to produce a characteristic value. The document characteristics and corresponding characteristic values are analyzed to produce a characteristic profile for each identified document characteristic. Upon receipt of a new document, document characteristic data and corresponding characteristic value(s) are identified. The corresponding characteristic value(s) of the new document is applied against the produced characteristic profile. New document characteristic data is selectively amended responsive to the comparison, and a new document version is created from the selective amendment.

Abstract: A candidate document is received, for example, by a document filter. A determination is made based on the content of the candidate document, whether the candidate document is relevant to a document corpus. A determination is made based on the content of the candidate document, whether the candidate document is novel with respect to the document corpus. In response to determining that the candidate document is relevant to the document corpus and novel with respect to the document corpus, the candidate document is added to the document corpus to make at least a portion of the content of the candidate document available for a response to a search query.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to selectively amend one or more tokens in a document. A first document set is subjected to natural language processing (NLP) and a vector score is identified for two or more documents of the first document set. Upon receipt of a new document, the new document is subjected to NLP and a new document vector score is identified. The new document is analyzed against the first document set, and the identified vector score of the first document set is compared to the vector score of the new document. One or more tokens of the new document are amended responsive to the comparison, and a new document version is created from the selective amendment.

Abstract: A computer device receives a request to search a corpus of documents for an entity, wherein the request includes a non-name identifier of the entity. The computing device identifies entries of text within the corpus of documents that reference the non-name identifier. The computing device applies natural language processing (NLP) to content associated with the identified entries within the corpus of documents, wherein the NLP identifies candidate entities associated with the non-name identifier. The computing device selects an entity from the candidate entities based, at least in part, on distances between the candidate entities and references to the non-name identifier in the identified entries. The computing device returns the selected entity to a submitter of the request.

Abstract: Batch interaction with a computerized question answering system can produce an answer that more closely relates to a user's information need. A batch of questions can be generated interactively, and provides a context for a first question received from a user. The batch of questions includes or more additional questions which have terms with a nonsynonymous semantic relation to a first term in the first question. A question answering system can process the batch of questions to determine candidate answers. An answer to the first question can be determined based, at least in part, on a combined ranking of the candidate answers.

Abstract: A method includes searching an initial set of documents for an initial set of query names. Each query name of the initial set of query names is associated with at least one document of the initial set of documents. The method also includes prioritizing the initial set of query names based on at least one topic label. The method also includes searching an additional set of documents to generate candidate query names. The method also includes prioritizing the candidate query names based on the at least one topic label. The method further includes applying a temporal search filter to each candidate query name to determine whether the candidate query name was processed within a time frame. The method further includes performing disambiguation processing on each candidate query name not processed within the time frame.
