SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUESTION ANSWERING CAPABLE OF INFERRING MULTIPLE CORRECT ANSWERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452357 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUESTION ANSWERING CAPABLE OF INFERRING MULTIPLE CORRECT ANSWERS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a question answering system and method that can infer multiple correct answers. The system includes an input interface device, a memory for storing a program that analyzes queries and searches for paragraphs likely to contain correct answers, and a processor that extracts correct answers and determines if there are multiple correct answers.

  • Input interface device: Receives queries from users.
  • Memory: Stores a program that analyzes queries and searches for paragraphs with correct answers.
  • Processor: Extracts correct answers and determines if there are multiple correct answers.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as education, customer service, and information retrieval systems.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently finding multiple correct answers to a given query. 2. Improving the accuracy of question answering systems.

Benefits

1. Enhanced user experience by providing multiple correct answers. 2. Increased efficiency in finding relevant information. 3. Improved accuracy in answering queries.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Question Answering Systems for Improved User Experience"

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing question answering systems that can provide single correct answers but not multiple correct answers.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle ambiguous queries?

The system's ability to handle ambiguous queries is not explicitly mentioned in the abstract. It would be interesting to know if the system has a mechanism to address this issue.

What is the computational complexity of the program for analyzing queries?

The abstract does not provide information on the computational complexity of the program. Understanding this aspect could help assess the system's efficiency and scalability.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a question answering system and method capable of inferring multiple correct answers. The question answering system capable of inferring multiple correct answers according to the present disclosure includes an input interface device configured to receive a query, a memory for storing a program that analyzes the query and searches for a paragraph with a high probability of including a correct answer through a document search, and a processor for executing the program, wherein the processor extracts a correct answer using a result of the searching for a paragraph with a high probability of including a correct answer, determines whether the extracted correct answer corresponds to multiple correct answers, and provides a correct answer extraction result.
