SUMMARIZED LOGICAL FORMS FOR CONTROLLED QUESTION ANSWERING

Abstract:

Systems, devices, and methods discussed herein provide improved autonomous agent applications that are configured to generate automated answers to a question using summarized logical forms (SLFs). A myriad of techniques may be utilized to manually or automatically generate one or more summarized logical forms for an answer, where the summarized logical form(s) identifies the main entities/informative portions of the answer. Instead of indexing the whole of the answer as in conventional methods, an answer can be indexed using the summarized logical forms. A subsequent query may be matched to the SLF and the answer may be provided in response to the question. By indexing the answer with its informative portions, the speed and accuracy of identifying the answer is improved.
