Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for processing a knowledge canvassing request. The mechanisms receive a request specifying an entity of interest from an originator of the request and analyze the request to extract a feature of the request. The mechanisms determine whether the request is a targeted natural language question to be answered or a knowledge canvassing request, based on the extracted feature. In response to determining that the request is a knowledge canvassing request, the mechanisms process the request by identifying entities represented in a knowledge graph data structure as being related to the entity of interest. The mechanisms output results of the processing of the request to the originator of the request.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager identifies a first cohort type and a second cohort type corresponding to an entity included in a question. The knowledge manager determines inferred states to the question by comparing a first set of cohort attributes corresponding to a first cohort type against entity attributes corresponding to the question. In turn, the knowledge manager generates possible answers by comparing the inferred states against a second set of cohort attributes corresponding to a second cohort type.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种方法，其中知识管理器识别对应于包括在问题中的实体的第一队列类型和第二队列类型。 知识管理者通过将对应于第一队列类型的第一组队列属性与对应于该问题的实体属性进行比较来确定该问题的推断状态。 反过来，知识管理器通过将推断的状态与对应于第二队列类型的第二组队列属性进行比较来生成可能的答案。

Abstract: A memory management system is implemented at an application server. The management system includes a configuration file including configuration settings for the application server and applications. The configuration settings include multiple memory management rules. The management system also includes a memory management framework configured to manage settings of resources allocated to the applications based on the memory management rules. The applications requests for the resources through one or more independently operable request threads. The management system also includes multiple application programming interfaces (APIs) configured to facilitate communication between the applications and the memory management framework. The management system further includes a monitoring engine configured to monitor an execution of the request threads and perform actions based upon the configuration settings. The actions include notifying the applications about memory related issues and taking at least one preventive action to avoid the memory related issues.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided, in association with a question and answer system, for generating answers to an input question. An input question is received and processed to generate at least one query. The at least one query is applied to the corpus to generate a set of candidate answers and corresponding selections of evidence portions of the corpus of information providing evidence in support of the at least one candidate answer being a correct answer for the input question. A graphical user interface (GUI) is output comprising a first GUI sub-section comprising the set of candidate answers, and a second GUI sub-section comprising the evidence portions of the corpus. User input modifying at least one of set of candidate answers or the evidence portions of the corpus of information is received via the GUI and an operation of the data processing system is adjusted based on the user input.
