    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a system, computer program product, and method for identification of linguistically related elements, and more specifically to prediction of a linguistically related element. A linguistic algorithm forms a cluster representation of corpus entries. A linguistic term is identified and application to the cluster representation to identified proximally related linguistic terms. Associative relationships between the proximally related terms and category metadata are iteratively investigated. One or more linguistic terms related across the two more metadata categories is identified and designated at the linguistically related element.

  • Patent number: 10586156
    Abstract: Mechanisms for processing a knowledge canvassing request receive a request specifying an entity of interest from an originator of the request and analyze the request to extract a feature of the request. The mechanisms determine whether the request is a targeted natural language question to be answered or a knowledge canvassing request, based on the extracted feature. In response to determining that the request is a knowledge canvassing request, the mechanisms process the request by identifying entities represented in a knowledge graph data structure as being related to the entity of interest. The mechanisms output results of the processing of the request to the originator of the request.

  • Patent number: 10466330
    Abstract: In a magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging method and apparatus, an excitation pulse flips a magnetization intensity vector of nuclear spins, a subject from the Z direction into the X-Y plane; and a diffusion pulse is applied to the magnetization intensity vector flipped into the X-Y plane in order to perform diffusion weighting. A flip pulse is applied to a magnetization intensity vector that does not meet Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill conditions in the X-Y plane after diffusion weighting in order to flip it back to the Z direction. A data acquisition sequence is activated to acquire imaging data from a residual magnetization intensity vector meeting the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill conditions in the X-Y plane.
