A method, system, and computer program product are provided for displaying query items (e.g., patient attributes) and answers (e.g., treatment recommendations) by performing a ranking analysis of query items by running a cognitive analysis comparison of each marginal answer confidence improvement metric for each unspecified query item in the first plurality of query items to rank the query items in sorted order from largest to smallest marginal answer confidence improvement metric.

Cognitive computer assisted attribute acquisition through iterative disclosure

A user session for a client device may be initiated by a computerized answering system. Answers to one or more questions may be provided via a network for presentation in a user interface of a display of the client device, where the presentation of the answers may be based on a default profile. User interaction with one or more of the answers presented in the user interface of the display of the client device is monitored during the user session. A first user profile is selected from a plurality of user profiles in response to determining attributes of the user interaction correspond to attributes of the first user profile. The user interface of the display of the client device is modified to change from presenting the answers based on the default profile to presenting the answers based on the first user profile.

Displaying answers in accordance with answer classifications

Certain relationships representing material insights are identified from among a set of discovered relationships. Cognitive discovery of relationships in a knowledge base, or corpus, are ranked according to one or more metrics indicative of material insights, including recentness and degree of alignment.

Significance of relationships discovered in a corpus

A question is received in a computerized answering system via an input device. A plurality of classes corresponding to the question are retrieved from a memory device. One or more answers to the question are generated by a processor. Each answer is associated with a confidence value. The confidence values associated with the answers are compared with thresholds associated with the plurality of classes. The answers are classified by the processor into the plurality of classes based on the comparing. The answers are presented via a display device in accordance with the classification of the answers. A user response to at least one of the answers is detected. At least one of the plurality of classes is adjusted based on the user response.

A battery charger for a charging marine batteries in a boat with an automobile while the boat is being towed behind the automobile. The battery charger connects the automobile's charging system to the boat's batteries. The charger causes the boat's batteries to be cyclically charged and monitored to prevent the automobile electrical system from overcharging the boat's batteries.
