Abstract

Embodiments provide a temporal sensitive cognitive interface that determines whether a temporal data value of a response to a user query is fixed or variable over time; determine a time lapse from a current time to a time of generation of a variable one of the temporal data values; generate a first presentation of the response to the user that includes a (first) text word modifier that indicates a quality of certainty of the temporal data value in response to determining that the time lapse does not exceed a confidence threshold that is specified for an attribute of the response temporal data value; and generate another, different (second) presentation of the response to the user that includes a different (second) text word modifier that indicates a quality of uncertainty of the temporal data value in response to determining that the time lapse exceeds the confidence threshold.
