A system, method and computer program product for conducting questions and answers with deferred type evaluation based on any corpus of data. The method includes processing a query including waiting until a “Type” (i.e. a descriptor) is determined AND a candidate answer is provided; the Type is not required as part of a predetermined ontology but is only a lexical / grammatical item. Then, a search is conducted to look (search) for evidence that the candidate answer has the required LAT (e.g., as determined by a matching function that can leverage a parser, a semantic interpreter and / or a simple pattern matcher). In another embodiment, it may be attempted to match the LAT to a known Ontological Type and then look for a candidate answer up in an appropriate knowledge-base, database, and the like determined by that type. Then, all the evidence from all the different ways to determine that the candidate answer has the expected lexical answer type (LAT) is combined and one or more answers are delivered to a user.

Ambiguities in a natural language expression are interpreted by jointly disambiguating multiple alternative syntactic and semantic interpretations. More than one syntactic alternative, represented by parse contexts, are analyzed together with joint analysis of referents, word senses, relation types, and layout of a semantic representation for each syntactic alternative. Best combinations of interpretations are selected from all participating parse contexts, and are used to form parse contexts for the next step in parsing.

A system and a method to correct semantic interpretation recognition errors presented in this invention applies to Automatic Speech Recognition systems returning recognition results with semantic interpretations. The method finds the most likely intended semantic interpretation given the recognized sequence of words and the recognized semantic interpretation. The key point is the computation of the conditional probability of the recognized sequence of words given the recognized semantic interpretation and a particular intended semantic interpretation. It is done with the use of Conditional Language Models which are Statistical Language Models trained on a corpus of utterances collected under the condition of a particular recognized semantic interpretation and a particular intended semantic interpretation. Based on these conditional probabilities and the joint probabilities of the recognized and intended semantic interpretations, new semantic interpretation confidences are computed. The semantic interpretation with the maximum new confidence is declared the corrected semantic interpretation.
