QUESTION ANSWERING USING ENTITY REFERENCES IN UNSTRUCTURED DATA
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a query, wherein the query is associated at least in part with a type of entity;
generating one or more search results based at least in part on the query;
retrieving previously generated data associated with at least one search result of the one or more search results, the previously generated data comprising one or more entity references in the at least one search result corresponding to the type of entity;
ranking the one or more entity references;
selecting an entity result from the one or more entity references based at least in part on the ranking; and
providing an answer to the query based at least in part on the entity result.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for collective reconciliation. In some implementations, a query is received, wherein the query is associated at least in part with a type of entity. One or more search results are generated based at least in part on the query. Previously generated data is retrieved associated with at least one search result of the one or more of search results, the data comprising one or more entity references in the at least one search result corresponding to the type of entity. The one or more entity references are ranked, and an entity result is selected from the one or more entity references based at least in part on the ranking. An answer to the query is provided based at least in part on the entity result.
