Abstract: Embodiments include cross-document propagation of entity metadata. Aspects include identifying a set of documents from a plurality of documents, the set of documents being related to one another and identifying a concept in a first document of the set of documents and creating an annotation corresponding to the concept. Aspects also include evaluating the annotation from the first document against all of the documents in the set of documents and identifying a concept match between the annotation and a mention discovered in a second document in the set of documents. Aspects further include creating a metadata linkage between the concept in the first document to the mention in the second document.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for using domain specific vocabularies to spellcheck input strings. A determination is made of a determining a domain specific vocabulary comprising domain specific tokens for a user. The input strings in the input text from the user are processed to determine whether the input strings match the domain specific tokens in the domain specific vocabulary. Indication is made that input strings that are determined to match the domain specific tokens in the domain specific vocabulary are not to be spellchecked by a global vocabulary available to users across domains.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming a wind turbine blade. The blade has a main blade module that defines a main body of the blade and includes a first mating feature, e.g. a tongue. The blade also includes a separate edge module that defines at least part of a trailing edge of the blade and includes a second mating feature, e.g. a recess. The method includes applying an adhesive to at least one of the first mating feature and the second mating feature. The method includes arranging the separate edge module relative to the main blade module such that the first and second mating features are mutually adjacent. The method includes applying a pressure force to squeeze the adhesive to bond the first and second mating features together. The pressure force is caused by removing air from, or injecting air into, an air sealed region.

Abstract: Techniques for targeted partial re-enrichment include determining that at least one natural language processing (NLP) request is associated with at least one surface form, the NLP request being for a corpus, a database comprising preexisting annotations associated with the corpus. An index query related to the at least one surface form is performed to generate index query results, the index query results including identification of portions of the corpus affected by the NLP request. A scope of the NLP request related to the database is determined based on the index query results, the scope including identification of impacted candidate annotations of the preexisting annotations affected by the NLP request. An NLP service is performed on the corpus according to the scope and the portions, thereby resulting in updates. The updates are committed to the database associated with the corpus.
