  • Publication number: 20200257679
    Abstract: A method (and structure and computer product) of machine translation for processing input questions includes receiving, in a processor on a computer, an input question presented in a natural language. The input question is preprocessed to find one or more condition values for possible Structured Query Language (SQL) queries. One or more possible SQL queries are enumerated based on the one or more found condition values and a paraphrasing model is used to rank the enumerated SQL queries. The highest ranked SQL query is executed against a relational database to search for a response to the input question.

  • Publication number: 20190318249
    Abstract: Technologies for interpretable general reasoning system using key value memory networks are described. Aspects include processing a complex question having at least two subject and relation pairs into keys in key memory locations, and importing entities of a knowledge base as values into value memory locations based on the keys and importing a STOP key. Other aspects include generating a query representation, a key representation of the keys in the key memory locations, and a value representation of the values in the value memory locations; and updating the query representation into an updated query representation over one or more iterations by combining the query representation with the value representation and the key representations until the STOP key is detected.

  • Patent number: 10410011
    Abstract: Methods are provided for enabling secure big data analytics in the cloud. A method includes reading a secure file, by a Secure Distributed File System in a public cloud service provider. The reading step includes computing a hash of a name of the secure file to obtain a hashed file name, finding metadata for the secure file using the hashed file name, retrieving a sharing policy identifier from the metadata, and obtaining authorization from an external entity to decrypt the secure file. The reading step further includes extracting a security key and encrypted data file names from the metadata using the sharing policy identifier, requesting one or more encrypted data files that form the secure file from a node of the public cloud service provider, and at least one of decrypting and reconstructing plaintext data for the secure file from the one or more encrypted data files.

  • Patent number: 10282411
    Abstract: A natural language learning method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium include analyzing a corpus of sentences stored in a database to identify an internal structure of words in the corpus of sentences, creating a plurality of new words that are a combination of the internal structure of a word of the words in the corpus of sentences and the word, clustering the plurality of new words created by the creating that match into a plurality of cluster groups, filtering the plurality of cluster groups to create a partial set of each of the plurality of cluster groups, and performing word embedding processing on the partial set of each of the plurality of cluster groups to obtain vectors for new words.

  • Patent number: 10042921
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for including receiving a natural language query from a user with an interface, and generating multiple dependency parses of the natural language query with a parser device connected to the interface. The generating of the multiple dependency parses includes dividing the natural language query into multiple components, and creating a single dependency parse by connecting each component of the components with at least one other component of the components. A processor connected to the parser device applies rules to all of the multiple dependency parses to identify entities and relations in the natural language query.

  • Patent number: 9959311
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method wherein a natural language query is received from a user with an interface. An ontological representation of data in a database is received with an input port, including names of concepts and names of concept properties. Template rules are received with the input port, the templates rules being language dependent and ontology independent, the template rules including widely used constructs of a language. Rules are automatically generated with a rule generation engine with the ontological representation of the data in the database and the template rules to identify entities and relations in the natural language query. Entities and relations are identified with a processor, the entities and relations being identified in the natural language query with the rules. The structured data language query is generated with a query generation engine from the entities and relations.
