Abstract
A technique of improving input text processing in a data processing system that answers questions includes receiving a question from a user. The question has associated supporting original input text that is utilized in answering the question. Corrective measures are applied to the supporting original input text to create supporting revised input text. The supporting revised input text documents corrective measures applied to the supporting original input text. An answer to the question is generated based on, at least in part, the supporting revised input text. The supporting original input text is recreated from the supporting revised input text based on the documented corrective measures in the supporting revised input text subsequent to generating the answer. The answer and the supporting original input text as recreated are transmitted to the user.
