Abstract:
A system and a computer program product are provided for evaluating question-answer pairs in an answer key by comparing a first answer key answer to a plurality of candidate answers to determine if the answer key may have a problem if the plurality of candidate answers are more similar to one another than to the first answer and to determine if the plurality of candidate answers has gradient information which may be used to update the answer key if not already included in the answer key.
