Optimal answerer ranking for new questions in community question answering

作者:

Highlights:

• We formally described the answerer ranking problem in CQA service.

• A novel model with tensor decomposition is proposed to solve the problem.

• The parameters of the above model are learned by maximizing the multi-class AUC.

• Introducing the asker dimension improves the answerer ranking performance.

• Our approach outperforms the previous methods on two real-world CQA datasets.
