  • Publication number: 20250077900
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes determining to extend knowledge within a knowledge database for an object represented by linked entigens of an entigen group based on a deficiency of the entigen group. The method further includes determining a set of identigens for each word of a phrase associated with the object to produce sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting the sets of identigens to determine a most likely meaning interpretation of the phrase and produce a new entigen group. The method further includes updating the entigen group utilizing the new entigen group to produce a curated entigen group such that a deficiency of the entigen group is resolved providing more accurate and more complete knowledge of the object.
