Abstract
Using a set of characteristics of a posted image, data from a social media platform is searched for a set of related images, a related image having at least a subset of the set of characteristics. For a related image in the set of related images, information corresponding to the related image is processed to extract an additional information that is usable with the posted image. An image-specific knowledgebase associating with the posted image, the knowledgebase including the additional information. In response to a query relative to the posted image, an answer is computed according to a classification of the query using the knowledgebase.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- searching, using a set of characteristics of a posted image, data from a social media platform for a set of related images, a related image having at least a subset of the set of characteristics;
- processing, for a related image in the set of related images, information corresponding to the related image, to extract an additional information that is usable with the posted image;
- associating with the posted image a reference to an image-specific knowledgebase, the knowledgebase comprising the additional information;
- and
- computing, responsive to a query relative to the posted image, the query comprising a question regarding an aspect of the posted image or a request for additional information about the posted image, an answer according to a classification of the query using the knowledgebase.
A computer usable program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to search, using a set of characteristics of a posted image, data from a social media platform for a set of related images, a related image having at least a subset of the set of characteristics;
- program instructions to process, for a related image in the set of related images, information corresponding to the related image, to extract an additional information that is usable with the posted image;
- program instructions to associate with the posted image a reference to an image-specific knowledgebase, the knowledgebase comprising the additional information;
- and
- program instructions to compute, responsive to a query relative to the posted image, the query comprising a question regarding an aspect of the posted image or a request for additional information about the posted image, an answer according to a classification of the query using the knowledgebase.
A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to search, using a set of characteristics of a posted image, data from a social media platform for a set of related images, a related image having at least a subset of the set of characteristics;
- program instructions to process, for a related image in the set of related images, information corresponding to the related image, to extract an additional information that is usable with the posted image;
- program instructions to associate with the posted image a reference to an image-specific knowledgebase, the knowledgebase comprising the additional information;
- and
- program instructions to compute, responsive to a query relative to the posted image, the query comprising a question regarding an aspect of the posted image or a request for additional information about the posted image, an answer according to a classification of the query using the knowledgebase.
