Abstract
Mechanisms for generating different lines of questioning based on evaluation of a previous line of questioning are provided. A set of evidential data specifying a plurality of concept entities and input specifying a scenario to be evaluated are received. The scenario specifies a hypothetical link between at least two of the concept entities. A first set of questions corresponding to the at least two information concept entities are evaluated based on the set of evidential data. Based on results of evaluating the first set of questions, a second set of questions is automatically generated to further expand upon and investigate the results of evaluating the first set of questions. The second set of questions are processed and an indication of the scenario and a corresponding measure of support for or against the scenario being a valid scenario is output.
