Proposed Model

Automatically determining similar questions and ranking the obtained questions according to their similarities to each input question is a very important task to any community Question Answering system (cQA). Various methods have applied for this task including conventional machine learning methods with feature extraction and some recent studies using deep learning methods. This paper addresses the problem of how to combine advantages of different methods into one unified model. Moreover, deep learning models are usually only effective for large data, while training data sets in cQA problems are often small, so the idea of integrating external knowledge into deep learning models for this cQA problem becomes more important. To this objective, we propose a neural network-based model which combines a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with features from other methods so that the deep learning model is enhanced with addtional knowledge sources. In our proposed model, the CNN component will learn the representation of two given questions, then combined additional features through a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) to measure similarity between the two questions. We tested our proposed model on the SemEval 2016 task-3 data set and obtain better results in comparison with previous studies on the same task.

Search Information

Community-based question answering (CQA) is formed to help people who search information that they need through a community. One condition that may occurs in CQA is when people cannot obtain the information that they need, thus they will post a new question. This condition can cause CQA archive increased because of duplicated questions. Therefore, it becomes important problems to find semantically similar questions from CQA archive towards a new question. In this study, we use convolutional neural network methods for semantic modeling of sentence to obtain words that they represent the content of documents and new question. The result for the process of finding the same question semantically to a new question (query) from the question-answer documents archive using the convolutional neural network method, obtained the mean average precision value is 0,422. Whereas by using vector space model, as a comparison, obtained mean average precision value is 0,282. Index Terms—community-based question answering, convolutional neural network, question retrieval

Websites like Quora, Yahoo! Answers, and Reddit are examples of community question answering (CQA) systems that enable users to ask questions as well as to answer questions. Answer selection is the most challenging task in CQA systems to get the good and relevant answer for the user questions. The shortcomings in the current approaches are lexical gap between text pairs, dependency on external sources, and manual features which lead to lack of generalization ability. These shortcomings are resolved by already proposed work, but they lack generalization, and their performance is not satisfying. Whereas to focus on rich quality answers, attention mechanism can be integrates with neural network. This chapter proposes two models BLSTM and BLSTM with attention mechanism. Attention mechanism aligns question to the answer with the answer's more informative part. So, when it is applied in the model, BLSTM with attention mechanism model surpasses the top approaches.
