Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to knowledge representation systems which include a knowledge base in which knowledge is represented in a structured, machine-readable format that encodes meaning.
Claims20
A knowledge representation system, comprising:
- a data store having a knowledge base stored therein comprising first knowledge represented in a structured, machine-readable format which encodes meaning;
- and
- at least one computing device configured to:
- generate second knowledge for inclusion in the knowledge base by inferring the second knowledge from the first knowledge;
- store the second knowledge in the knowledge base in association with related knowledge information identifying the first knowledge from which the second knowledge was inferred;
- dynamically generate third knowledge not represented in the knowledge base in response to queries by inferring the third knowledge from one or both of the first and second knowledge;
- and
- respond to queries using one or more of the first knowledge, the second knowledge, or the third knowledge.

A knowledge representation system, comprising:
- a data store having a knowledge base stored therein comprising knowledge represented in a structured, machine-readable format which encodes meaning;
- and
- at least one computing device configured to:
- translate a natural language question to one or more queries, the natural language question being associated with a knowledge domain within the knowledge;
- determine whether any of the one or more queries relate to the knowledge domain;
- and
- respond to the natural language question using a portion of the knowledge within the knowledge domain where at least one of the one or more queries relates to the knowledge domain.
4 more elements
A knowledge representation system, comprising:
- a data store having a knowledge base stored therein comprising knowledge represented in a structured, machine-readable format which encodes meaning, the knowledge including a plurality of facts each of which is represented in the machine-readable format, and a plurality of explanations each of which is identified as corresponding to one or more of the facts, the explanations including human-readable explanatory text relating to the corresponding facts;
- and
- at least one computing device configured to:
- identify a first one of the facts corresponding to a query;
- identify a first one of the explanations corresponding to the first fact;
- and
- respond to the query using the explanatory text corresponding to the first explanation.
