Natural language processing review and override based on confidence analysis

A system for natural language processing comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• process unstructured data in response to a request for a conclusion to a line of inquiry to produce structured information that conforms to a computer readable information schema;
• assign values obtained from the unstructured data to attributes of the structured information and determining a candidate conclusion to the line of inquiry based on the value-assigned attributes;
• compute a confidence score indicative of a sufficiency of the candidate conclusion as the conclusion to the line of inquiry;
• display one or more of the attributes to a user for modification responsive to the confidence score of the corresponding conclusion failing to meet a confidence criterion, the displayed attributes being ranked by relevance of the attribute to the corresponding conclusion wherein displaying one or more of the attributes comprises:
• collecting the attributes for presentation to the user based on the confidence of the conclusion on which the conclusion is based;
• excluding the attributes that are not relevant to the conclusion from the attributes collected for presentation;
• generating a user interface component to accept modifications to values assigned to a user-selected one or more of the collected attributes;
• populating the user interface component with representations of the attributes collected for presentation in accordance with the respective rankings thereof;
• generating an override interface component responsive to user selection of one of the representations of the attributes;
• and
• accepting the modifications to the values assigned to the collected attributes through the override interface component;
• and
• determine the conclusion to the line of inquiry based on the modified values of the attributes.

A computer program product for natural language processing, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• process unstructured data in response to a request for a conclusion to a line of inquiry to produce structured information that conforms to a computer readable information schema;
• assign values obtained from the unstructured data to attributes of the structured information and determining a candidate conclusion to the line of inquiry based on the value-assigned attributes;
• compute a confidence score indicative of a sufficiency of the candidate conclusion as the conclusion to the line of inquiry;
• display one or more of the attributes to a user for modification responsive to the confidence score of the corresponding conclusion failing to meet a confidence criterion, the displayed attributes being ranked by relevance of the attribute to the corresponding conclusion wherein displaying one or more of the attributes comprises:
• collecting the attributes for presentation to the user based on the confidence of the conclusion on which the conclusion is based;
• excluding the attributes that are not relevant to the conclusion from the attributes collected for presentation;
• generating a user interface component to accept modifications to values assigned to a user-selected one or more of the collected attributes;
• populating the user interface component with representations of the attributes collected for presentation in accordance with the respective rankings thereof;
• generating an override interface component responsive to user selection of one of the representations of the attributes;
• and
• accepting the modifications to the values assigned to the collected attributes through the override interface component;
• and
• determine the conclusion to the line of inquiry based on the modified values of the attributes.
