Abstract: At least some embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method that comprises receiving original input text that includes a term, comparing a definition of the term to definitions of multiple candidate replacement terms to generate a set of candidate replacement terms, and substituting each of the candidate replacement terms in the set for the term in the original input text to produce a plurality of modified input texts. The method also comprises determining the grammatical accuracy of each of the plurality of modified input texts, comparing meanings of the modified input texts to a meaning of the original input text, and modifying the set of candidate replacement terms based on the determinations of grammatical accuracy and the comparisons of the meanings. The method still further comprises ranking the modified set of candidate replacement terms using one or more criteria, and displaying the ranking on a display.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, methods, systems and computer readable media are provided, in a cognitive data processing system, for implementing a predictive analytics system that utilizes entity and non-entity information. A collection of content is processed to extract defined entities pertaining to one or more domains. Semantic relationships are determined between objects within the collection of content, wherein the objects include undefined entities. The defined entities and objects are resolved based on entity definitions and the semantic relationships to determine defined entities and undefined entities for a resulting data set. The resulting data set is processed to identify one or more relationships between a defined entity and an undefined entity.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to analytics engine selection management. A set of reference data may be ingested by a first analytics engine to compile a first set of characteristic data. The set of reference data may be ingested by a second analytics engine to compile a second set of characteristic data. The first set of characteristic data may be compiled for the first analytics engine. The second set of characteristic data may be compiled for the second analytics engine. A set of distinct attributes related to the first and second analytics engines may be determined based on the first and second sets of characteristic data. An analytics engine selection operation may be executed.

Abstract: One embodiment provides generating a similarity matrix corresponding to an input collection including initializing, by a processor, a working set as a collection of a multiple items. Until the similarity matrix converges: receiving a seed for similarity for at least one pair of items of the multiple items, and obtaining a similarity value for all other item pairs using a Naive Triangle Inequality process. The similarity is generated with obtained similarity values.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic filtering of content posted to a social network are disclosed. In aspects, a method of the system includes generating, by a computing device, a user profile list for a user of a social network, the user profile list including data regarding the user's preferences with respect to undesirable content; monitoring, by the computing device, a content post on the social network to determine if the content post includes the undesirable content, the content post being displayed to the user through a social network interface; determining, by the computing device, that the content post includes the undesirable content; and effecting a change in the display of the content post in accordance with one or more predetermined display rules based on the determining that the content post includes the undesirable content.

Abstract: A method, a computing system and a computer program product are provided. A computing system identifies elements within a collection of medical documents. The elements include patients, adverse events and medical drugs. The medical documents are analyzed by the computer system to determine associations between the identified medical drugs and corresponding identified adverse events. The identified elements and the determined associations may be encoded as features by the computing system. The computing system identifies portions of the medical documents as containing the identified elements and the determined associations. The computing system generates a classification model based at least on the encoded features associated with the identified portions for identifying medical case safety reports within medical documents. The classification model is applied to a new document to determine a classification of the new document with respect to a medical case safety report.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for disambiguating meaning of terms. A natural language processing system obtains a first corpora of words used in a first sense and a second corpora of the same words that are used in a second sense. Each of these corpora of words may be associated with different linguistic domains. The natural language processing system generates a first and a second set of patterns using both the first and second corpora of words, respectively. A question passage is then received by the natural language processing system. The natural language processing system examines a word of interest in the question passage. The user is then notified that the word of interest is being used in the first sense or the second sense in response to identifying the word of interest in only the first set of patterns or the second set of patterns, respectively.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to implement an automated lexicon expansion for an identified corpus. For a selected corpus in a set of corpora, the mechanism determines an estimated number of new terms in the selected corpus that are not in the lexicon based on a frequency count known terms in the selected corpus. Responsive to the estimated number of new terms in the selected corpus being greater than a threshold, the mechanism performs lexicon expansion using the selected corpus to form an expanded lexicon. Responsive to the estimated number of new terms in the selected corpus not being greater than the threshold, the mechanism halts lexicon expansion.

Abstract: Techniques for analysis of relationship consistency are provided. A plurality of relationships is extracted from a plurality of documents, and a binary matrix is generated based on the plurality of relationships. A first relationship, of the plurality of relationships, is identified to be verified. A score of the first relationship in the binary matrix is set to a predefined value. Further, a factorization is performed on the binary matrix to produce a first matrix and a second matrix. A first consistency score is calculated for the first relationship by multiplying at least a portion of the first matrix and a second matrix. The first consistency score is ranked as compared to at least one other consistency score associated with at least one other relationship of the plurality of relationships. Finally, an indication of the first relationship is provided, based on the ranking.

Abstract: Influencers (individuals or groups) over a selected audience (observers or recipients of information, objects and/or events) on a given topic are measured based on influence features, which include a sentiment flipping influence feature indicative of ability of an audience member to influence other audience members to change their sentiment on the selected topic. Other influence features include the ability to influence others: to change followership; to express interest in a topic associated with a hashtag pioneered by the influencer, based on the effectiveness and phrasing of language used. The output of the influence engine can be a score representing the relative influence of audience members over the audience on the topic of interest. Influencers may be ranked according to their total influence score over the audience on the topic.
