Abstract

A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for identifying nonsense passages. The mechanism annotates an input passage with linguistic features to form an annotated passage. The mechanism counts a number of instances of each type of linguistic feature in the annotated passage to form a set of feature counts. The mechanism determines a value for a metric based on the set of feature counts and compares the value for the metric to a predetermined model threshold. The mechanism identifies whether the input passage is a nonsense passage based on a result of the comparison.
