Abstract: Machine teaching in an embodiment can include receiving a user annotated concept for a given image in given context. The given image can be broken into parts and classified. Relationships can be determined associated with the parts. The created relationships can be stored along with the user annotated concept in a knowledge base. One or more similar images can be annotated using the parts and relationships. A second image associated the given context can be retrieved, decomposed into parts. The parts can be classified. Relationships can be determined associated with the second image's parts. Classifications and relationships associated with the second image's parts can be compared with classifications and relationships associated with the given image's parts. Based on comparing, the second image can be annotated with the user annotated concept for the given image.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for retrieving analogues using topological knowledge representation (TKR). In some embodiments, a TKR input query is built and/or validated using a domain-specific knowledge base (KB). A search database containing candidate analogues and corresponding pre-built TKRs is then searched to retrieve at least one analogue of the TKR input query using statistical analysis. In some embodiments, a system may build the TKR input query based on a seismic dataset. For example, the system may receive a seismic dataset, segment the seismic dataset and classify each region using a computer vision (CV) database and the KB, and build the TKR input query based on the segmented and classified seismic dataset. In some embodiments, the TKR input query may be input and/or edited by a user. For example, the TKR input query may be input and/or edited by the user and validated using the KB.

Abstract: A document editor user interface interacts with a user in receiving content from the user and provides suggestions determined via cognitive computing to the user while the user is authoring a document. A search engine searches for information associated with the content and returns the information. A matching candidate template that matches a style of the document being authored is searched for and may be inferred based on the document being authored. The suggestions may be provided based on definitions of the candidate template. A cognitive component may continuously detect behavior of the user while authoring the document and store information associated with the detected behavior. Additional suggestions may be provided based on the detected behavior.
