Abstract
A computing device comprising a processor configured to receive a natural language search query and determine a first response to the natural language search query, the first response having a first confidence level. The processor is further configured to determine a sensor class effecting an information gain on the natural language search query according to a table of training data. The processor is further configured to augment the natural language search query to form an augmented search query according to data received from at least one sensor that is a member of the sensor class and determine a second response to the augmented search query, the second response having a second confidence level. The processor is further configured to store information to the table of training data that associates the at least one sensor with a value of a change between the first confidence level and the second confidence level.
