Application ID: 14709406

Base Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: identifying, by a computing system based at least in part on a segment of text, a first entity and a second entity that is distinct from the first entity; determining, by the computing system based at least in part on the segment of text, that a first entity attribute associated with the first entity in the segment of text and a second entity attribute associated with the second entity in the segment of text share an attribute class; in response to the determining, providing, by the computing system, an indication that, in the segment of text, the first entity attribute is either similar to or different than the second entity attribute; and generating, by the computing system based on an answer choice that directly describes a relationship between the first entity and the first entity attribute and indirectly describes a relationship between the second entity and the second entity attribute, a textual rewrite that directly describes a relationship between the second entity and the second entity attribute.

Claim 5:
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising opting to provide either the indication that the first entity attribute is similar to the second entity attribute or different than the second entity attribute based on one or more compare or contrast signals contained in a question posed about the segment of text.
