Abstract
A question is received to be answered by a question answering (QA) system. The question may be a business intelligence question that is expressed in a natural language. The question is parsed. The parsed question is matched to a pattern from a number of patterns. A technical query associated with the matched pattern is processed to retrieve data relevant to the question from a number of data sources. The QA system generates an answer to the question based on retrieved data. In one aspect, the QA system generates answers based contextual information.
