Abstract
According to an aspect, concept identification in a question answering system includes receiving, at a computer processor, a text span as a subject of a search query. An aspect also includes searching a title-oriented document (TOD) corpus for the text span, and matching, by the computer processor, concepts in title-oriented documents TODs of the TOD corpus to the span of text. The matching of the concepts includes decomposing the title-oriented documents into a series of passages, scoring the passages identified as possible matches, and merging and ranking results of the scoring to produce final scores for each concept associated with the title-oriented documents.
