Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for performing watched question processing. The mechanisms detect a change in content of electronic documents in a corpus of electronic documents, and retrieve a watched question from a watched question database. The mechanisms determine whether full processing of the watched question through the question answering pipeline is to be bypassed when performing watched question processing in response to the detected change in content of the electronic documents in the corpus. The mechanisms bypass one or more stages of processing of the question answering pipeline in response to determining that full processing of the watched question through the question answering pipeline is to be bypassed. The mechanisms return a result of the watched question processing indicating that no changes to the previously generated answers are caused by the change in the content of the electronic documents in the corpus.
