Abstract

Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to identify and evaluate candidate passage response data in natural language form. Natural language processing is applied to analyze a passage against one or more input tokens to identify matching content. A structure representing the analyzed passage is populated with matching input and passage tokens. A first count of matching token entries and a second count of evaluated token entries are determined and qualified by closeness criteria. An alignment of the passage to a candidate question is calculated, including assessing a ratio of the first and second counts as a confidence value. Matching passage data is returned from the passage with the confidence value.
