Abstract

A method, according to one approach, includes: causing a received query to be translated from a first language to a second language. The method also includes generating potential answers for the translated query, and extracting features from the translated query. The method also includes causing the extracted features to be converted into feature vectors. The method also includes causing the feature vectors to be compared against existing vectors in a knowledge base that correspond to past question-answer pairs. The method also includes causing the potential answers to be ranked based at least in part on an outcome of comparing the feature vectors against the existing vectors in the knowledge base. Furthermore, the method includes causing a final answer to be generated based at least in part on the ranked potential answers.
