Abstract
New facts are added to a query answering system that uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) processing. Incoming ASR requests may be compared against each other to check accuracy of semantic processing. Further, accuracy of ASR transcription may be confirmed using a confidence check. Text obtained from internet or other sources may be processed with trained classifiers (which may be specific to a given relation) to identify text corresponding to the relation and to identify the entities referred to in the relation. The text, entities, and relation may then be saved and used to respond to future queries.
