Abstract

See full text

An approach is provided to train a question answering (QA) system using answer keys based on forum content. In the approach, a question is selected from a post in a threaded discussion. An answer to the selected question is automatically identified from crowd-based sources, with the identified answer having a confidence level greater than a threshold. An answer key is built using the selected question and the identified answer. The QA system is automatically trained using the answer key.
