Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for implementing training logic for training a Question and Answer (QA) system. A training question, associated with an answer key, is received and processed by the QA system to generate a final answer to the training question and supporting evidence for the final answer based on a corpus of information. The supporting evidence is analyzed to identify one or more evidence attributes and a plurality of correct answer entries in the answer key are searched to identify a matching correct answer entry that matches the final answer. The matching correct answer entry in the answer key is augmented to include the one or more evidence attributes in an augmented answer key and the QA system is trained based on the augmented answer key.
