  • Displaying quality of question being asked a question answering system
    Patent number: 10713571
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for automatically generating question and answer pairs for training a question answering system for a given domain. The mechanism receives user input of question text for a question to be submitted to a question answering system in a user interface. The mechanism determines a question strength score for the question text. The question strength score represents a likelihood the question text will result in a correct answer with high confidence. The mechanism presents a graphical representation of the question strength score in the user interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Monitoring the health of a question/answer computing system
    Patent number: 9286153
    Abstract: An approach is provided for monitoring the health of a Question/Answer (QA) Computing System. In the approach, performed by an information handling system, a number of static questions are periodically submitted to the QA system, wherein each of the static questions corresponds to a previously established verified answer. Responses are received from the QA system, with the responses including answers corresponding to the submitted static questions. Monitoring the performance of the QA system based on the received responses. When the monitoring detects a problem with the QA system, a user is notified of the detected problem.
