Abstract

Content of a work of authorship can be ingested using natural language processing (NLP). Content displayed on an Internet forum can be ingested using NLP. A relationship between the content of the work of authorship and the content displayed on the Internet forum can be identified based on the ingested content of the work of authorship and the ingested content displayed on the Internet forum. Information associated with the work of authorship can be caused, based on the identified relationship, to be displayed on the Internet forum such that the information is visually-associated with the displayed content.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

ingesting, using natural language processing (NLP), content of a work of authorship;

ingesting, using NLP, content displayed on an Internet forum;

identifying, based on the ingested content of the work of authorship and the ingested content displayed on the Internet forum, a relationship between the work of authorship and the displayed content;

causing, based on the identified relationship, information associated with the work of authorship to be displayed on the Internet forum such that the information is visually-associated with the displayed content, wherein the displayed content includes a user question posted to the Internet forum by a user, wherein the information includes an answer to the user question, and wherein the identifying the relationship comprises;

identifying the user question as a question; and

generating, in response to the identifying the user question as a question and based on a search of the ingested content of the work of authorship, the answer to the user question.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the information is an excerpt from the work of authorship.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the causing the information to be displayed is further based on a user history, the method further comprising:

identifying the user history for a user that posted the displayed content to the Internet forum;

ingesting, using NLP, content of the user history.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the displayed content is a thread of messages and wherein an excerpt is added as a message in the thread.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the relationship is a relatedness over a threshold.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the content displayed on the Internet forum is identified by a pre-search, the pre-search comprising:

identifying, using NLP, keywords within the work of authorship; and

searching, based on the identified key words, the Internet for Internet forums that are related to the keywords.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying the visually-associated information further comprises:

adding the visually-associated information adjacent to a relevant portion of the displayed content.

8. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to;

ingest, using natural language processing (NLP), content of a work of authorship;

ingest, using NLP, content displayed on an Internet forum;

identify, based on the ingested content of the work of authorship and the ingested content displayed on the Internet forum, a relationship between the work of authorship and the displayed content;

cause, based on the identified relationship, information associated with the work of authorship to be displayed on the Internet forum such that the information is visually-associated with the displayed content, wherein the displayed content includes a user question posted to the Internet forum by a user, wherein the information includes an answer to the user question, and wherein the identifying the relationship comprises;

identifying the user question as a question; and

generating, in response to the identifying the user question as a question and based on a search of the ingested content of the work of authorship, the answer to the user question.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the information is an excerpt from the work of authorship.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the causing the information to be displayed is further based on a user history, the program instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the system to:

identify the user history for a user that posted the displayed content to the Internet forum;

ingest, using NLP, content of the user history.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the displayed content is a thread of messages and wherein an excerpt is added as a message in the thread.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the relationship is a relatedness over a threshold.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the content displayed on the Internet forum is identified by a pre-search, the pre-search comprising:

identifying, using NLP, keywords within the work of authorship; and

searching, based on the identified key words, the Internet for Internet forums that are related to the keywords.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the displaying the visually-associated information further comprises:

adding the visually-associated information adjacent to a relevant portion of the displayed content.

15. A computer program product for displaying visually-associated information on an internet forum, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a computer to perform a method comprising:

ingesting, using natural language processing (NLP), content of a work of authorship;

ingesting, using NLP, content displayed on an Internet forum;

identifying, based on the ingested content of the work of authorship and the ingested content displayed on the Internet forum, a relationship between the work of authorship and the displayed content;

causing, based on the identified relationship, information associated with the work of authorship to be displayed on the Internet forum such that the information is visually-associated with the displayed content, wherein the displayed content includes a user question posted to the Internet forum by a user, wherein the information includes an answer to the user question, and wherein the identifying the relationship comprises;

identifying the user question as a question; and

generating, in response to the identifying the user question as a question and based on a search of the ingested content of the work of authorship, the answer to the user question.

16. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the information is an excerpt from the work of authorship.

17. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the causing the information to be displayed is further based on a user history, the method further comprising:

identifying the user history for a user that posted the displayed content to the Internet forum;

ingesting, using NLP, content of the user history.

18. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the content displayed on the Internet forum is identified by a pre-search, the pre-search comprising:

identifying, using NLP, keywords within the work of authorship; and

searching, based on the identified key words, the Internet for Internet forums that are related to the keywords.

19. A method comprising:

ingesting, using natural language processing (NLP), content of a work of authorship;

ingesting, using NLP, content displayed within an electronic communication;

identifying, based on the ingested content of the work of authorship and the ingested content displayed within the electronic communication, a relationship between the work of authorship and the displayed content;

causing, based on the identified relationship, information associated with the work of authorship to be displayed within the electronic communication such that the information is visually-associated with the displayed content, wherein the displayed content includes a false statement posted within the electronic communication as a user comment, wherein the information includes a reply to the user that disproves the false statement, and wherein the identifying the relationship comprises;

identifying the user comment as a false statement; and

generating, in response to the identifying the user comment as a false statement and based on a search of the ingested content of the work of authorship, the reply to the user that disproves the false statement.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the information includes an excerpt from the work of authorship and a summary of why the excerpt was chosen from the work of authorship.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the causing the information to be displayed is further based on a user history, the method further comprising:

identifying the user history for a user that posted the displayed content within the electronic communication;
