Learning to Leverage Microblog Information for QA Retrieval

Abstract

Community Question Answering (cQA) sites have emerged as platforms designed specifically for the exchange of questions and answers among users. Although users tend to find good quality answers in cQA sites, they also engage in a significant volume of QA interactions in other platforms, such as microblog networking sites. This in part is explained because microblog platforms contain up-to-date information on current events, provide rapid information propagation, and have social trust.
