Abstract
Ground truth for a cognitive system is generated from a structured resource such as a table by identifying a subject of the structured resource and field headers. Linguistic analysis is performed on a given header to establish an interrogative context, and a question is generated relating to the subject based on the interrogative context, including an implementation of one or more mathematical operators. The question is generated using a question template, and has a question phrase based on the interrogative context, an operator phrase based on the selected operator, and a keyword phrase based on the subject. An answer to the question is determined by carrying out a computation that applies the selected operator(s) to one or more of the data values, to form a question-and-answer pair that is added to the ground truth. A filtering step is preferably used to ensure that the question-and-answer pair is valid.
