Abstract: A domain-specific question answering system receives an end-user's question, identifies relevant information from domain-specific documents, composes a natural-language based response including the relevant information to be provided to the end-user. A knowledge base includes a domain-specific ontology and is built from data structures configured to preserve the hierarchy of the informational elements within the domain-specific documents. The question received from the end-user is analyzed to extract the features and the key phrases which are used to identify the relevant data structures. A pre-trained model that is further trained on domain-specific data is used to identify the sentences that include information responsive to the question. A response to the end-user's question is composed from the sentences. The question answering system also enables validation of the answers provided to the users' questions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for deleting and rescanning areas of a horizon display on a computer monitor is disclosed. A cursor, controlled by a pointing device such as a mouse, is directed to a first area on the monitor which is adjacent a second area of the horizon which is described to be deleted and rescanned. The cursor is dragged from the first area across the second area while a user pushes the control button of the mouse thereby defining coordinates of an area for which all points are to be deleted. The points in the first area are scanned to designate them as seed points. Such seed points are used to pick horizon points in the second area. Such picked points are then used to fill-in the second area.
