Displaying quality of question being asked a question answering system
First Claim
1. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a question answering system, causes the question answering system to:
- receive question text comprising at least a portion of a question to be submitted to the question answering system in a user interface;
determine a question strength score for the question text, wherein the question strength score represents a likelihood the question text will result in a correct answer with high confidence;
present a graphical representation of the question strength score in the user interface;
generate a question forming tip for rephrasing the question text based on the comparison of a natural language processing structure of the question text and a question type of the question text to known good structures and types in a question history; and
present the question forming tip in the user interface.

Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for automatically generating question and answer pairs for training a question answering system for a given domain. The mechanism receives user input of question text for a question to be submitted to a question answering system in a user interface. The mechanism determines a question strength score for the question text. The question strength score represents a likelihood the question text will result in a correct answer with high confidence. The mechanism presents a graphical representation of the question strength score in the user interface.
