Patent number: 11544466Abstract: A method is provided for determining support of a hypothesis by opinion sentences. The method converts sentence structures in the opinion sentences using various sentence structure conversion methods to obtain converted opinion sentences. For each converted opinion sentence, the method calculates a difference between a proximity label value indicating proximity to the hypothesis and an intermediate score before and after a conversion, adopts the conversion responsive to a condition being met relative to the difference, and adopts the opinion sentence instead responsive to the condition being unmet. The method creates sub-opinions using the various methods applied to adopted conversions and opinion sentences, and obtains an intermediate score for each sub-opinion.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kohichi Kamijoh, Miki Ishikawa, Sachiko Yoshihama, Issei Yoshida, Yohei Ikawa

Patent number: 11443211Abstract: A method is provided for validating a hypothesis sentence. The method extracts, from a document database D using a hypothesis sentence that includes a causal part and a consequence part, a set D1 of documents related to the causal part. The method extracts, from set D1, a set S of sentences that include expressions of opinion. The method obtains a word list W of words that have a high co-occurrence in the set D1. The method selects, from the set S, a set S1 of sentences that are positionally close to any of the words in the word list W. The method selects, from the set S, a set S2 of sentences that are related to the words in the consequence part of the hypothesis. The method extracts and displays sentences included in both the set S1 and the set S2 as opinion sentences in relation to the hypothesis sentence.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Miki Ishikawa, Sachiko Yoshihama, Issei Yoshida, Kohichi Kamijoh
