Abstract

A computer-implemented method is provided that includes accessing candidate text and a candidate pair including first and second phrases, substituting the first and second phrases into cause-effect patterns to generate variant sentences. An artificial intelligence model is leveraged to determine respective probabilities that the variant sentences are inferred from the candidate text, calculate a statistical measure of the respective probabilities, and assess the calculated statistical measure to ascertain whether the first and second phrases possess a causal relationship or non-causal relationship to one another. A knowledge base including one or more pairs of cause-effect phrase pairs is populated with the first and second phrases possessing the causal relationship. A computer system and a computer program product are also provided.
