Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed aspects include managing data for a Question and Answering (QA) system. Aspects include a set of questions being received by the QA system. In response to receiving the set of questions, a first confidence score for a first answer to a first question of the set of questions is determined. Aspects include determining the first confidence score meets a threshold confidence score. In response to the first confidence score meeting the threshold confidence score, the QA system stores the first question and the first answer for future presentation use as an aid in formulating a second query.

1 - 18 . (canceled) 19 . A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a first computing device, causes the first computing device to: receive a set of questions; determine, in response to receiving the set of questions, a first confidence score for a first answer to a first question of the set of questions; store, in response to determining the first confidence score meets at least a threshold confidence score, the first question and the first answer; receive a second question from a user; determine the second question is related to the first question; and select, for presentation to the user, an output. 20 . An apparatus, comprising: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive a set of questions; determine, in response to receiving the set of questions, a first confidence score for a first answer to a first question of the set of questions; store, in response to determining the first confidence score meets at least a threshold confidence score, the first question and the first answer; receive a second question from a user; determine the second question is related to the first question; and select, for presentation to the user, an output.
