Abstract

A system and computer implemented method for generating a set of inferred questions for a question answering system is disclosed. The method may include determining, based on context data, a user state. The method may also include extracting characterization information for an object satisfying an attention criteria. The characterization information may be configured to include sensory data. The method may also include determining a relationship between the object and the user state based on the characterization information for the object and the context data of the user state. The method may also include generating, based on the relationship between the object and the user state, a set of inferred questions for a question answering system.
