Filed:

Mar 29, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/433623

Inventors:

Chaitanya LAXMINARAYAN - Austin TX, US
Gopal KRISHNAN - Austin TX, US
Sanjay Francis KOTTARAM - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06N 5/02

US Classification:

706 47

Abstract:

Electronic data interchange (EDI) documents are validated by creating an inventory of all rules, dynamically adjusting the inventory based upon entity specific rules derived from a plurality of companion guides, determining a profile containing pointers to select rules in the inventory for each companion guide and storing the profile for each companion guide in a storage. A runtime checker can then be used to check a received EDI document with a corresponding rule set, forward the EDI document if the EDI document matches its current rule set and return the EDI document if the EDI document does not match its current rule set. EDI rules may be enforced, for example, by determining entity-specific rules from corresponding companion guides, by expressing each rule in a neutral and machine readable format, by classifying the rules and/or by creating an inventory of rules and pointers to entity-specific rules.

Appl. No.:

15/223762

Inventors:

- ARMONK NY, US
Jason E. Doucette - Saskatoon, CA
Sanjay F. Kottaram - Cedar Park TX, US
Wilson L. Wu - Arcadia CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/0481
G06T 13/80
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Technical solutions are described for representing health of a cognitive system. An example computer-implemented method includes displaying an animated set of icons, each icon representing a question input to the cognitive system. Each icon has a respective movement pattern. The computer-implemented method also includes receiving a selection of a first icon from the animated set of icons. The computer-implemented method also includes in response, identifying a category of a first question corresponding to the first icon, determining a subset of the icons corresponding to question from the category, and displaying connectors between the subset of the icons.

Abstract:

Technical solutions are described for visually depicting health of a cognitive system. An example computer-implemented method includes accessing a query-log of a question input to the cognitive system. The method also includes generating a query-node corresponding to the question. The method also includes configuring animation parameters of the query-node based on the query-log. The method also includes displaying the query-node according to the animation parameters.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06F 17/28

Abstract:

A system, and computer program product for augmenting business process execution using natural language processing are provided in the illustrative embodiments Information related to a state in a business process is extracted from the business process executing in a data processing system. A set of natural language (NL) questions is formed based on the information and a transition from the state defined in the business process. The set of NL questions is answered with a corresponding set of NL answers, an NL answer in the set of NL answers having an associated confidence rating. A determination is made whether a confidence rating in the set of NL answers exceeds a threshold level of confidence. In response to the confidence rating exceeding the threshold, a task is executed to perform the transition in the business process.
