Abstract
A method learns approximate translations of unfamiliar measurement units during deep question answering (DeepQA) system training and usage. The DeepQA system receives a training set containing Question-Answer (QA) pairs having known unit-of-measurement terms, where each QA pair contains an answer having a known numeric value for a corresponding question from the QA pair. The DeepQA system receives a question from each QA pair from the training set to the DeepQA system in order to find answers and passage phrases to the question from each QA pair, and then identifies all found answers and passage phrases having values that are within a predetermined range of answer values of the training set, where one or more of the identified all found answers and passage phrases contain unfamiliar unit-of-measurement terms, in order to learn approximate translations of the unfamiliar unit-of-measurement terms.
