  • Patent number: 11836592
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a cognitive system to interact with a user are provide. Aspects include receiving a cognitive system profile and observational data associated with the user. Environmental data associated with the user is received and features are extracted from the observations data and the environmental data. The features are stored in the user profile and analyzed to determine a situational context for each of the features based on the cognitive system profile and the user profile. Trigger events are identified based on the situational context for each of the features. One or more proposed actions are determined based at least in part on the one or more trigger events. At least one action is initiated from the one or more proposed actions and are stored in the user profile along with the one or more trigger events and the one or more features.

  • Patent number: 11551006
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to selectively amend one or more document elements. A first document is subjected to natural language processing (NLP) and two or more document characteristics are subjected to an assessment to produce a characteristic value. The document characteristics and corresponding characteristic values are analyzed to produce a characteristic profile for each identified document characteristic. Upon receipt of a new document, document characteristic data and corresponding characteristic value(s) are identified. The corresponding characteristic value(s) of the new document is applied against the produced characteristic profile. New document characteristic data is selectively amended responsive to the comparison, and a new document version is created from the selective amendment.

  • Patent number: 11334716
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to selectively amend one or more tokens in a document. A first document set is subjected to natural language processing (NLP) and a vector score is identified for two or more documents of the first document set. Upon receipt of a new document, the new document is subjected to NLP and a new document vector score is identified. The new document is analyzed against the first document set, and the identified vector score of the first document set is compared to the vector score of the new document. One or more tokens of the new document are amended responsive to the comparison, and a new document version is created from the selective amendment.

  • Patent number: 11288320
    Abstract: Embodiments for identifying entities relevant to queries are provided. At least one query is received from a user. The at least one query is associated with at least one entity. Results of the at least one query are analyzed to identify related entities. The related entities are analyzed based on a relevancy score and an information enhancement score for each of the related entities to generate a ranking of the related entities. At least one of the related entities is provided to the user based on the ranking of the related entities.
