Abstract: Software that uses machine-logic based algorithms to assess the value of idea descriptions by performing the following operations: (i) receiving an idea description pertaining to an idea; (ii) generating a density score for the idea, wherein the density score is based, at least in part, on one or more publication date densities of a set of works related to the idea description; (iii) generating a novelty score for the idea, wherein the novelty score is based, at least in part, on a comparison of the idea description to the set of works related to the idea description using natural language processing; and (iv) assessing the value of the idea based, at least in part, on the generated density score and the generated novelty score.

Abstract: An approach is provided for automatically generating user-specific interaction modes for processing question and answers at the information handling system by receiving a question from a user, extracting user context parameters identifying a usage scenario for the user, identifying first input and output presentation modes for the user based on the extracted user context parameters, monitoring user interaction with the system in relation to the question, and adjusting the first input and output presentation modes based on the extracted user context parameters and detected user interaction with the system.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a cognitive system collaboration identification and recommendation system (CSCIRS). The CSCIRS stores, in a cognitive system database, entries corresponding to a plurality of cognitive system instances. Each entry identifies operational characteristics of a corresponding cognitive system instance. The CSCIRS receives, from a requestor, a request to identify a potential collaborative cognitive system instance and identifies, based on the request and the cognitive system database, a candidate collaborative cognitive system instance. The CSCIRS generates a collaboration recommendation based on the identification and outputs an output corresponding to the collaboration recommendation.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a computing system for interpreting and distinguishing a lack of an answer to an input question. The mechanism receives an input question from a user. The mechanism generates one or more hypotheses based on a corpus of source information. The mechanism injects a no-answer response into the one or more hypotheses to form a plurality of candidate answers. The mechanism ranks the plurality of candidate answers based on evidence scoring and confidence scoring to form a candidate answer ranking. Responsive to determining the no-answer response is the top candidate answer in the candidate answer ranking, the mechanism presents the no-answer response to the user.

Abstract: Techniques are described for a real-time prioritization of service tasks. In one example, a method includes receiving one or more customer activity inputs associated with one or more service tasks for performing in a service establishment on behalf of customers of the service establishment. The method further includes receiving one or more metadata items associated with the one or more service tasks. The method also includes determining a prioritization of the one or more service tasks based on the one or more customer activity inputs, wherein determining the prioritization includes generating a prioritization value for the one or more service tasks based at least in part on at least one of the one or more metadata items or the one or more customer activity inputs, and updating the one or more service tasks based on the prioritization value.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided, in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory configured to implement a question and answer system (QA), for utilizing temporal indicators to weight semantic values. A set of temporal characteristics is identified of a set of initial candidate answers. For each initial candidate answer in the set of initial candidate answers: a distance value is generated for each of the set of temporal characteristics of the set of initial candidate answers, a multiplier value is determined with which to weight an initial confidence score associated with the initial candidate answer using the distance value; a sentiment value is determined of the initial candidate answer, and a final weight value is determined using the multiplier value, the sentiment value, and the initial confidence score associated with the initial candidate answer. A set of temporally refined candidate answers is then provided using the determined final weight values.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided in a question answering (QA) system comprising a QA system pipeline that analyzes an input question and generates an answer to the input question, for pre-processing the input question. The mechanisms receive an input question and input the input question to a pre-processor flow path having one or more pre-processors. The one or more pre-processors transform the input question into a transformed question by correcting errors in a formulation of the input question that are determined to be detrimental to efficient and accurate processing of the input question by a QA system pipeline of the QA system. The transformed question is then input to the QA system pipeline of the QA system which processes the transformed question to generate and output an answer to the input question.

Abstract: In an approach to personalizing a news feed, a computing device monitors a user accessing content. The computing device determines a personal knowledge graph for the user based on the accessed content. Responsive to receiving a new piece of content that the user has not accessed, the computing device determines a novelty score for the new piece of content based on the personal knowledge graph. The computing device filters the new piece of content based on the novelty score.
