Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for image object disambiguation resolution are provided herein. An example of a method includes: initiating a conversation for resolving ambiguity among a group of labels corresponding to an object in an image; using a wordweb to determine properties that distinguish between at least one first label and at least one second label within the group; selecting a first property from the properties to generate a question, wherein said selecting is based at least in part on a learner model of a user including information indicating a level of prior knowledge of the user with each of the properties and each of the one or more labels; assigning a belief score to an answer; and determining whether to present at least a second question to verify the first answer based on a comparison of the belief score to a threshold value.
