Abstract

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for analyzing and deducing criteria-related content for evaluation in a system capable of answering questions. A criteria text is processed to identify criteria. The criteria text is then analyzed to identify a set of criteria-related content associated with the criteria, which in turn is processed to determine its relationship to the criteria. Once the relationship has been determined, the set of criteria-related content is annotated accordingly. The set of criteria-related content is then used in accordance with its annotation when processing the criteria for evaluation.
