Automatically generating effective search queries directly from community question-answering questions for finding related questions

作者:

Highlights:

• We produce search strings from cQA questions for retrieving related questions.

• Search strings are generated via examining lexicalized dependency paths.

• We tested several Learning to Rank methods.

• Neural Net based methods are likely to perform the best.

• NER and POS taggers as well as WordNet provide effective features.
