Abstract:
Candidate answers are generated by a question-answering system in response to a question from a user. One or more generated candidate answers are compared to previous question-answer sets. The previous question-answer sets are indexed and stored in a database which includes a knowledge graph on the previous questions-answer sets. A previous question-answer set is identified as correlating with a first generated candidate answers. The previous question-answer set is identified using relationships of the database. The first generated candidate answer is restructured using the question as a statement which is embedded with the first generated candidate answer. The restructured generated candidate answer which correlates with the previous question-answer set is supplemented with content from the previous question-answer set.
