Abstract
An approach is provided in which a knowledge manager creates a pattern set based on training data that includes paraphrases and a set of first syntactic patterns. The knowledge manager receives a user question and matches one of the first syntactic patterns to a second syntactic pattern generated from the user question. Based on the matching, the knowledge manager generates new questions using the paraphrases in the pattern set and utilizes the new questions to query a second set of data and generate candidate answers that correspond to the user question.
