A computer-implemented system and method relate to natural language processing. A candidate is selected based on a query. The candidate includes a question and an answer to that question. The candidate is classified as belonging to a class. The class indicates that the candidate is relevant to the query. The class is selected from among a group of classes, which includes at least that class and another class. The another class indicates that the candidate has the answer to the query. Upon classifying the candidate as belonging to the class, a machine learning system is configured to generate a relevant response for the query upon receiving the query and the question as input data. The relevant response provides information associated with a keyword of the question that is not contained in the query.
