Abstract

See full text

Mechanisms, in a Question Answering (QA) system comprising a processor and a memory, for evaluating a hypothetical link in an ontology are provided. An initial analysis of the ontology is performed to identify a set of information concept entities and links between information concept entities in the ontology. The hypothetical link between a first information concept entity and a second information concept entity in the ontology is generated based on the initial analysis of the ontology. Natural language questions corresponding to the hypothetical link are processed to generate answer results directed to a plurality of links between a plurality of information concept entities. The answer results are aggregated across the plurality of links to determine an aggregate answer result for the hypothetical link. An indication of whether or not the hypothetical link is a valid link is output based on the aggregate answer result for the hypothetical link.
