Abstract

A natural language query answering system includes an external data pre-processor configured to i) analyze a first data set, the first data set received via a communication network, to identify data in the first data set that corresponds to entities in a database comprising categorized entities, and ii) generate a second data set corresponding to the first data set and based on the analysis of the first data set, wherein the second data set includes information indicating how data in the second data set is to be interpreted by the natural language query answering system. The natural language query answering system is configured to retrieve data and/or process data from the second data set in response to natural language queries.
