Extended functionality for an inverse inference engine based web search
TLDR
In this paper, an extension of an inverse inference search engine is disclosed which provides cross language document retrieval, in which the information matrix used as input to the inverse inference engine is organized into rows of blocks corresponding to languages within a predetermined set of natural languages.Abstract:
An extension of an inverse inference search engine is disclosed which provides cross language document retrieval, in which the information matrix used as input to the inverse inference engine is organized into rows of blocks corresponding to languages within a predetermined set of natural languages. The information matrix is further organized into two column-wise partitions. The first partition consists of blocks of entries representing fully translated documents, while the second partition is a matrix of blocks of entries representing documents for which translations are not available in all of the predetermined languages. Further in the second partition, entries in blocks outside the main diagonal of blocks are zero. Another disclosed extension to the inverse inference retrieval document retrieval system supports automatic, knowledge based training. This approach applies the idea of using a training set to the problem of searching databases where information that is diluted or not reliable enough to allow the creation of robust semantic links. To address this situation, the disclosed system loads the left-hand partition of the input matrix for the inverse inference engine with information from reliable sources.read more

A Syntax-based Statistical Translation Model
Kenji Yamada,Kevin Knight +1 more
TL;DR: This model transforms a source-language parse tree into a target-language string by applying stochastic operations at each node, and produces word alignments that are better than those produced by IBM Model 5.

Method and apparatus for search, visual navigation, analysis and retrieval of information from networks with remote notification and content delivery
Richard Wolton,William Moulton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modular intelligent personal agent system is presented for search, navigation, control, retrieval, analysis, and results reporting on networks and databases, where hypertext documents and associated content media are displayed as symbol or thumbnail web documents as nodes with connector lines representing links between the documents.
Patent
Using context information to facilitate processing of commands in a virtual assistant
TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.
Patent
Nlp-based entity recognition and disambiguation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an entity recognition and disambiguation system (ERDS) that, based upon input of a text segment, automatically determines which entities are being referred to by the text using both natural language processing techniques and analysis of information gleaned from contextual data in the surrounding text.

TL;DR: In this paper, the user enters a query and the system processes the query to generate an alternative representation, which includes conceptual-level abstraction and representations based on complex nominals (CNs), proper nouns (PNs), single terms, text structure, and logical make-up of the query, including mandatory terms.

Multilingual document retrieval system and method using semantic vector matching
TL;DR: In this paper, a document retrieval system (20) where a user can enter a query, including a natural query, in a desired one of a plurality of supported languages, and retrieve documents from a database (60) that includes documents in at least one other language of the supported languages.
Patent
Inverse inference engine for high performance web search
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a disclosed search engine that deals with the problems of synonymy, polysemy, and retrieval by concept by allowing for a wide margin of uncertainty in the initial choice of keywords in a query.

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology for retrieving textual data objects is disclosed, where the information is treated in the statistical domain by presuming that there is an underlying, latent semantic structure in the usage of words in the data objects.
