Claim 0:
1. A method of utilizing provenance influenced distribution profile scores to execute a search of a user query comprising the steps of:
a computer receiving the user query including a user problem statement from a user;
the computer analyzing, 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;
the computer applying 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;
the computer measuring 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;
the computer deriving a provenance from the taxonomy;
the computer calculating 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;
the computer executing 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
the computer returning the search results from the search to the user.
