Methods, systems and computer programs for automatic, highly accurate machine comprehension of a plurality of segments of free form unstructured text in a natural language. The system answers a plurality of complex, free-form questions asked in a natural language, based on the totality of input text. The system further uses a multi-dimensional data model to measure the total effects of actions / verbs acting on various unique nouns present in the input text. The system may convert the questions into another multi-dimensional data model and may then compare the two data models in program memory to derive the answers to the posed questions. The system may then automatically detect unknown words and optionally look them up in digital information sources, such as online dictionaries and encyclopedias, to fill in the gaps in knowledge to answer the questions with expert-like reliability.

The invention provides for indexing and cataloging of content on the Internet, as well as from other stores of information, may be performed by applying a process that employs an orthogonal corpus, or corpora, of information, such as an Encyclopedia. To this end, the processes described herein identify the topics discussed within the corpus. The process also identifies within the corpus a set of keywords that are relevant to the topics presented in the corpus. The keywords associated with a topic may be employed to identify documents stored in another database that are related to the topic. A graphical representation of the index of topics found in the corpus may then be generated, with individual topics operating as links to these related documents. Thus, a user interested in reviewing content in the corpus related to a certain topic, may also activate a link in the graphical representation of the index to access other documents that have been identified as related to the topic of interest to the user.

The invention concerns a method of creation, maintenance, and peer-review of web-based collectively written encyclopedia. The invention combines the mechanism of Wiki-style collaborative environment, which allows users to modify articles, with the principles of peer-reviewed encyclopedias, in which articles are approved (i.e., endorsed) by experts. In the preferred embodiment, each article has a curator or curators who are responsible for the article content. Each article can be modified by users, but the modification is hidden from the general public until it is evaluated and approved by the curators.

The present invention discloses a Chinese integrated entity linking method based on a graph model. An ambiguous entity in a text can be mapped into a specific entity in a real world, in order to provide aid for knowledge base expansion, information extraction and search engines. The method mainly comprises three parts of generating a candidate entity, constructing an entity indicator diagram, and disambiguating an integrated entity. For a given text, an entity referent item therein is recognized to obtain the candidate entity. The entity referent item and the candidate entity thereof are regarded as graph nodes to construct an entity referent graph. An in-degree and out-degree algorithm is applied to the entity indicator diagram for implementing disambiguation of multiple ambiguous entities in the text. The present invention does not depend on the knowledge base completely in the establishment of the entity indicator diagram, and also can implement incremental evidence mining to find evidence on an encyclopedia webpage. Dependence path analysis is employed to find the possibly related entity referent item. When the dependence path sizes of two entity referent items are within a set range, the two entity referent items are regarded as the possibly related entity referent items. Further, whether their candidate entities have relations in the real world is determined, so that the efficiency of disambiguation is greatly improved.
