Abstract: A system and method provide for querying a knowledge base. The knowledge base includes a plurality of layers, each layer corresponding to a different type of information, such as user's intent, lack of knowledge, and specific issue. The system includes categorization rules for categorizing at least a part of a user's request according to the types of information and for mapping the request to respective layers of the knowledge base. The user's request is categorized with the categorization rules and mapped to one of the layers of the knowledge base, based on the categorization. A search is conducted for responsive problem descriptions among the problem descriptions in that layer. The system and method can thus provide for differential searching of the knowledge base, depending on the type of information being sought.

Abstract: A system and method for proposing candidate solutions for updating a knowledge base are disclosed. In the method, knowledge base solutions in a natural language are each processed to generate a first action sequence of atomic steps, each including a verb and an object including a noun which is in a syntactic dependency with the respective verb. A recorded solution, expressed in a natural language, is received which includes actions performed on a device in the device class. The recorded solution is processed to generate a second action sequence of atomic steps, as for the first action sequence. The second action sequence is compared with the first action sequences to determine whether the recorded solution corresponds to one of the knowledge base solutions. Based on the comparison, provision is made for proposing an update to the knowledge base, based on the recorded solution.

Abstract: A method for assisting a driver to locate a parking space includes identifying a user-selected destination with a navigation system of a first vehicle. While the driver of the first vehicle is being guided by the navigation system towards the selected destination, parking availability information is acquired from a first space allocation device (e.g., ticket vending machine), associated with a first parking zone. The parking availability information includes parking availability information for at least one second parking zone associated with a respective second, space allocation device, remote from the first space allocation device. The second parking availability information for the second parking zone(s) is communicated to the first space allocation device by at a respective second navigation system of at least one second vehicle. A parking zone is selected, based on the user-selected destination and acquired parking availability information transmitted from the first space allocation device.

Abstract: A method for encoding documents includes building or otherwise providing a condensed dictionary including identifiers for block headers identified in text blocks extracted from a collection of training documents. For at least one test document a set of text content blocks is identified. For each of the text content blocks in the set, a block header is identified. Each block header in the training and test documents includes a sequence includes no more than a predetermined maximum number of characters. An encoding of the test document is generated, based on the identifiers of the block headers identified in the test document that are in the condensed dictionary.
