Abstract

An approach for allocating computing resources based on a confidence level associated with responses to queries is provided. In a typical embodiment, a query is received from a querying user, and a search for a response to the query is conducted. A confidence level associated with the response is then determined. If the confidence level of the response does not meet a predetermined threshold, additional computing resources are allocated, and the search and corresponding response are updated (e.g., iteratively). An updated confidence level based on the updated response is then determined. Once the predetermined threshold has been met by the confidence level of the response, the response can be returned to the querying user.
