  • Publication number: 20230004823
    Abstract: New question and answer (QA) pairs can be automatically discovered from a corpus of data such as online chats and conversations. Newly discovered QA pairs can augment QA database, which can be used by a computer processor or device, e.g., by a chatbot, an automated machine, and/or another. Existing QA knowledge can be used to learn the structures of QA knowledge distribution in conversations, and new QA knowledge can be automatically learned through the structure of learned QA knowledge distribution in conversations. The structure of learned QA knowledge distribution can be refined by adding more semantics based on labeled data.

  • Patent number: 11520783
    Abstract: A system, program product, and method for use with an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to dynamically amend a knowledge base responsive to query evaluating and processing. A received or detected query is subject to natural language processing to identify, annotate, and map one or more query tokens against a knowledge base. The query tokens are evaluated against the knowledge base to identify one or more query tokens absent from the knowledge base and leverage a neural network to predict a probability relationship between the query tokens absent from the knowledge base and one or more tokens populated in the knowledge base. The natural language (NL) query is translated to a structured query language (SQL) and the SQL query is executed and evaluated, and the knowledge base is selectively and dynamically amended subject to the SQL evaluation.
