VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF QUESTION QUALITY
First Claim
1. A method in a deep question answering system for providing a visual representation of question quality, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a question answering system, an input question having a set of query attributes, wherein the set of query attributes are user-influenced characteristics of the input question;
evaluating, by comparing the set of query attributes to a set of assessment criteria, the quality of the input question, wherein evaluating includes;
parsing, using a natural language processing technique configured to analyze semantic and syntactic content, the input question,identifying, based on the semantic and syntactic content, the set of query attributes of the input question, anddetermining whether the set of query attributes achieves a satisfaction threshold with respect to the set of assessment criterion;
assigning, in response to evaluating the quality of the input question, a set of quality values to the set of query attributes; and
generating, using the assigned set of quality values and the set of query attributes, an icon that indicates a visual representation of the quality of the input question.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure, in certain embodiments, are directed toward providing a visual representation of question quality in a question answering system. More particularly, aspects are directed toward receiving, by a question answering system, an input question having a set of query attributes. The set of query attributes may be user-influenced characteristics of the input question. Aspects of the present disclosure are also directed toward evaluating, by comparing the set of query attributes to a set of assessment criteria, the quality of the input question. Aspects of the present disclosure are also directed toward assigning, in response to evaluating the quality of the input question, a set of quality values to the set of query attributes. Using the assigned set of quality values and the set of query attributes, an icon that indicates a visual representation of the quality of the input question may be generated.

10. A computer system comprising:
-
at least one processor; a memory coupled to the at least one processor; a visual representation generation mechanism executed by one or more of the at least one processor, the visual representation generation mechanism including; a receiving module to receive, using a question answering system, an input question having a set of query attributes, wherein the set of query attributes are user-influenced characteristics of the input question; an evaluating module to evaluate, by comparing the set of query attributes to a set of assessment criteria, the quality of the input question, wherein evaluating includes; a parsing module to parse, using a natural language processing technique configured to analyze semantic and syntactic content, the input question, an identifying module to identify, based on the semantic and syntactic content, the set of query attributes of the input question, and a determining module to determine whether the set of query attributes achieves a satisfaction threshold with respect to the set of assessment criterion; an assigning module to assign, in response to evaluating the quality of the input question, a set of quality values to the set of query attributes; and a generating module to generate, using the assigned set of quality values and the set of query attributes, an icon that indicates a visual representation of the quality of the input question. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. 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 computing device to:
-
receive, by a question answering system, an input question having a set of query attributes, wherein the set of query attributes are user-influenced characteristics of the input question; evaluate, by comparing the set of query attributes to a set of assessment criteria, the quality of the input question, wherein being caused to evaluate includes being caused to; parse, using a natural language processing technique configured to analyze semantic and syntactic content, the input question, identify, based on the semantic and syntactic content, the set of query attributes of the input question, and determine whether the set of query attributes achieves a satisfaction threshold with respect to the set of assessment criterion; assign, in response to evaluating the quality of the input question, a set of quality values to the set of query attributes; and generate, using the assigned set of quality values and the set of query attributes, an icon that indicates a visual representation of the quality of the input question. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
