Abstract
An approach is provided that improves a question answering (QA) computer system by reducing a number of vague questions submitted to the QA system. When a question is submitted to the QA system, the approach performs a vagueness question analysis on the question. The vagueness question analysis results in a vagueness score. The question is submitted to the QA system in response to the vagueness score reaching a threshold value that indicates a lack of vagueness in the question. The approach inhibits submission of the question to the QA system in response to the vagueness score failing to reach the threshold value.
