Abstract

See full text

First, a computer may receive an input query of a first medium type. The input query may then be analyzed. Based on the analysis, the input query may be categorized as being associated with at least a second medium type. A first-medium-type search of a set of corpora may then be performed. Based on the results of the first-medium-type search, a candidate answer of the first medium type may be generated. In response to the categorizing, a second-medium-type search of the set of corpora may also be performed.
