Abstract
A method of enhancing the accuracy of a question-answer system. Missing information from a corpus of data is identified. The missing information is any information that improves a confidence for a candidate answer to a question. A follow-on inquiry is generated. The follow-on inquiry prompts for the missing information to be provided. The follow-on inquiry is output to an external source. A response to the follow-on inquiry is received from the external source. The response is added to the corpus of data.
