Abstract
A computer-implemented method of evaluating information confidence based on a cognitive trait of a user, is provided, the method including receiving information from a user as an answer to a question in an active learning question and answer system; monitoring a user for a cognitive behavior indicator when the user is providing the information; determining a cognitive trait based on the cognitive behavior indicator; determining a quantified level of information confidence for the information based on the cognitive trait; and annotating the information with the cognitive trait and the quantified level of information confidence. A system and a computer program product for evaluating information confidence based on a cognitive behavior of a user are also provided.
