Abstract

See full text

Mechanisms are provided for generating an output of confidence score for candidate answers of an input question. The mechanisms, implemented in a data processing system configured to answer an input question receive candidate answer information comprising confidence scores associated with candidate answers for the input question. The mechanisms categorize, for each candidate answer in the candidate answer information, the corresponding confidence score into one of a plurality of confidence score categories. For each candidate answer in the candidate answer information, a graphical representation of the confidence score category of the candidate answer is generated. A graphical user interface output comprising an entry for each candidate answer in the candidate answer information is generated where each entry comprises the corresponding graphical representation of the confidence score category of the candidate answer corresponding to the entry.
