Claim 16:
17. A computer system for utilizing provenance influenced distribution profile scores to execute a search of a user query comprising a computer executing the search of the user query, comprising at least one processor, one or more memories, one or more computer readable storage media having program instructions executable by the computer to perform the program instructions comprising:
receiving, by the computer, the user query including a user problem statement from a user;
analyzing, by the computer, without an initial corpus of training data, the user query and associated user problem statement to create an applicable vector space with vectors having values representing the user problem statement;
applying, by the computer, a taxonomy to the vectors and the values representing the user problem statement within the applicable vector space to create an enhanced user problem statement represented within the applicable vector space by enhanced vectors and enhanced values, wherein the enhanced vectors are derived by applying the taxonomy to the vectors of the user problem statement;
measuring, by the computer, a semantic distance distribution profile score based on an analysis of the user problem statement with the vectors and the values in the taxonomy within the applicable vector space;
deriving, by the computer, a provenance from the taxonomy;
calculating, by the computer, a provenance influenced distribution profile score of the enhanced user problem statement based on the semantic distance distribution profile score, the enhanced values of the enhanced vectors of the enhanced user problem statement, and the provenance;
executing, by the computer, the search of the user query represented by the enhanced user problem statement and the provenance influenced distribution profile score;
the computer ordering search results from the search based on the provenance influenced distribution profile score; and
returning, by the computer, the search results from the search to the user.
