Abstract
An offline adaptation method of customizing and incorporating external knowledge domain specific knowledge sources into an existing knowledge base (KB) of a cognitive conversation system, includes obtaining an instance-concept frequency from the existing KB. All the contexts of a domain ontology in which an instance-concept is used are computed. All instance-concepts from the existing KB to an external domain-specific knowledge source are mapped. The existing KB is configured to search for semantically related terms in response to a natural language query received from a conversation system.
