| 20120078889 | PROVIDING ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS USING HYPOTHESIS PRUNING - A method, system and computer program product for generating answers to questions. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a query, conducting a search through one or more data sources to identify candidate answers to the query, and providing each of the candidate answers with a preliminary score. The method further comprises filtering out any of the candidate answers with a preliminary score that does not satisfy a defined condition. The candidate answers having preliminary scores that satisfy this condition form a subset of the candidate answers. Each of the candidate answers in this subset is processed to produce further scores. A ranking function is applied to these further scores to determine a ranking for each of the candidate answers in the subset; and after this ranking function is applied, one or more of the candidate answers are selected as one or more final answers to the query. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20090292687 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING QUESTION AND ANSWERS WITH DEFERRED TYPE EVALUATION - A system, method and computer program product for conducting questions and answers with deferred type evaluation based on any corpus of data. The method includes processing a query including waiting until a “Type” (i.e. a descriptor) is determined AND a candidate answer is provided; the Type is not required as part of a predetermined ontology but is only a lexical/grammatical item. Then, a search is conducted to look (search) for evidence that the candidate answer has the required LAT (e.g., as determined by a matching function that can leverage a parser, a semantic interpreter and/or a simple pattern matcher). In another embodiment, it may be attempted to match the LAT to a known Ontological Type and then look for a candidate answer up in an appropriate knowledge-base, database, and the like determined by that type. Then, all the evidence from all the different ways to determine that the candidate answer has the expected lexical answer type (LAT) is combined and one or more answers are delivered to a user. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20110125734 | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GENERATION - A system, method and/or computer program product for automatically generating questions and answers based on any corpus of data. The computer system, given a collection of textual documents, automatically generates collections of questions about the documents together with answers to those questions. In particular, such a process can be applied to the so called ‘open’ domain, where the type of the corpus is not given in advance, and neither is the ontology of the corpus. The system improves the exploring of large bodies of textual information. Applications implementing the system and method include new types of tutoring systems, educational question-answering games, national security and business analysis systems, etc. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20120078636 | EVIDENCE DIFFUSION AMONG CANDIDATE ANSWERS DURING QUESTION ANSWERING - Diffusing evidence among candidate answers during question answering may identify a relationship between a first candidate answer and a second candidate answer, wherein the candidate answers are generated by a question-answering computer process, the candidate answers have associated supporting evidence, and the candidate answers have associated confidence scores. All or some of the evidence may be transferred from the first candidate answer to the second candidate answer based on the identified relationship. A new confidence score may be computed for the second candidate answer based on the transferred evidence. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20120078826 | FACT CHECKING USING AND AIDING PROBABILISTIC QUESTION ANSWERING - A system, a method and a computer program product for verifying a statement are provided. The system is configured to receive a statement. The system is configured to decompose the received statement into one or more sets of question and answer pairs. The system is configured to determine a confidence value of each answer in the one or more question and answer pair sets. The system is configured to combine the determined confidence values. The combined confidence values represent a probability that the received statement is evaluated as true. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20110060584 | ERROR CORRECTION USING FACT REPOSITORIES - The disclosed system and method apply stores of factual information to correct errors in digital text, for example, generated from OCR, speech and/or handwriting recognition devices, and other automatic recognition devices. A text produced by OCR, speech recognition, handwriting recognition, and others may be processed to extract discussed facts. Databases of facts are searched based on information in the text. After comparing facts asserted in the text with the factual data from the databases, suggested corrections of the text are produced. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110119254 | INFERENCE-DRIVEN MULTI-SOURCE SEMANTIC SEARCH - A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for searching for information using a knowledge base. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a query; formulizing the query, including dividing the query into a plurality of parts; for each of the parts, identifying a source, using the knowledge, that addresses that part; and combining the sources to answer the query. In one embodiment, the query includes text; the text is separated into a plurality of segments; and, for each of the segments, at least one source is identified addressing the segment. In an embodiment, a logical proof is formulated having a conclusion that is an answer to the query, and a sequence of statements that establish said conclusion; and a proof of this conclusion is generated by identifying two or more documents that assert the sequence of statements. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20120077178 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DOMAIN ADAPTATION IN QUESTION ANSWERING - The present disclosure relates generally to question answering systems and methods and, particularly, to systems and methods for domain adaptation in question answering. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120078890 | LEXICAL ANSWER TYPE CONFIDENCE ESTIMATION AND APPLICATION - A system, method and computer program product for automatically estimating the confidence of a detected LAT to provide a more accurate overall score for an obtained candidate answer. A confidence “score” or value of each detected LAT is obtained, and the system and method performs combining the confidence score with a degree of match between a LAT and an AnswerType of the candidate answer to provide improved overall score for the candidate answer. | 03-29-2012 |
