Predicting Quality of Answer in Collaborative Q/A Community

Community Question Answering (CQA) services have emerged allowing information seekers pose their information need which is questions and receive answers from their fellow users, also participate in evaluating the questions or answers in a variety of topics. Within this community information seekers could interact and get information from a wide range of users, forming a heterogeneous social networks and interaction between users. A question may receive multiple answers from multiple users and the asker or the fellow users could choose the best answer. Freedom and convenience in participation, led to the diversity of the information. In this paper we present a general model to predict quality of information in a CQA by using non textual features. We showing and testing our quality measurement to a collection of question and answer pairs. In the future our models and predictions could be useful for predictor quality information as a recommender system to complete a collaborative learning.
