Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system to improve print legibility is provided. A processor receives a file to print. A processor generates a print preview of the file, wherein the print preview is generated at an initial scale. A processor generates a preview text for the print preview. A processor determines a legibility metric based for the print preview on a comparison between the preview text for the print preview and text of the file to print. A processor prints the file at a second scale in response to the legibility metric being below a predetermined value, wherein the second scale is larger than the initial scale.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a computer-implemented method for determining topic specific reliability for a question answering system. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes receiving a topic specific input query by the question answering system. The method further includes detecting a source that provides a reference containing the ground truth answers to the ground truth questions. The method further includes traversing sources detect similar references in other sources and assigning reliability scores for each source based upon ground truth answers in the other sources. The method further includes providing a ranked list of answers based upon the reliability of each source upon for each answer.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating from a corpus a knowledge graph comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected by a plurality of edges. Each node of the plurality of nodes represents an entity extracted from the corpus. Each edge of the plurality of edges represents a relationship between corresponding entities extracted from the corpus. The knowledge graph includes a plurality of source passages extracted from the corpus from which the plurality of edges was generated. A generative language model is trained, for each edge of the plurality of edges, to associate two or more related entities by utilizing the knowledge graph. Using the trained generative language model, one or more passages representing the edge of the knowledge graph are generated for each edge of the knowledge graph.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a plurality of question, answer, passage (QAP) triples. Each of the plurality of QAP triples includes a question, an answer to the question and a passage containing the answer to the question. The received plurality of QAP triples is parsed to generate two or more patterns. The generated patterns are merged together to identify clusters of semantically related patterns.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to provide a contextual response to an interrogatory. An electronic communication interface or portal is dynamically evaluated by an artificial intelligence (AI) platform. Natural language processing (NLP) is utilized to detect and evaluate a communication, identify an interrogatory within the communication, and determine an intent of the interrogatory. A corresponding factoid pipeline is searched for content related to the intent, and a response to the interrogatory is ascertained, formulated, and presented to the electronic communication interface.

Abstract: A portable livestock apparatus has a frame, removable transport wheels situated on a wheel axis located intermediately between opposing front and rear ends of the frame, and a front lifting jack mechanism disposed forwardly of the wheel axis. Transition of the apparatus between a ground-seated field-use position and a wheel-carried transport position is performed using only the front lifting jack mechanism, without requiring a separate rear lifting jack mechanism behind the wheel axis to enable installation and removal of the transport wheels. Full extension of the front lifting jack mechanism raises the front end far enough to provide sufficient ground clearance at the wheel axis for installation and removal of the transport wheels. A singular lift-lower operation by the singular jack thus enables both hitch connection/disconnection and wheel installation/removal.

Abstract: A livestock force tub features a perimeter structure delimiting an interior space of said livestock tub, including a main peripheral wall spanning circumferentially around a central upright axis, an exit situated at or proximate a terminal end of the main peripheral wall and a supplemental wall section at an area adjacent the exit on a side thereof opposite the terminal end of the main peripheral wall. The supplemental wall section increases an angular span of the tub around the central axis to create an auxiliary space beyond the exit. This auxiliary space accommodates a possible uncooperative animal during unloading of the force tub while allowing others to still reach the exit. The supplemental wall section and a terminal section of the main peripheral wall have a lesser opacity than more significantly cladded areas of the main peripheral wall, whereby increased light admission and environmental visibility attract livestock toward the exit.
