Abstract
System, method, and computer program product to reduce an amount of processing required to generate a response to a first case by a deep question answering system, by, determining that a similarity score, of the first case relative to a second case, exceeds a similarity threshold, identifying a first feature of the second case having a first relevance score exceeding a relevance threshold, identifying a first candidate answer for the first case that does not have the first feature, and refraining from analyzing the first candidate answer in generating the response to the first case, thereby reducing the amount of processing of the deep question answering system.
