Abstract

A balanced question recommendation mechanism for user-interactive question answering (QA) systems is proposed to automatically recommend a new question to suitable users to answer. In this mechanism, a user modeling method is used to estimate the interests and professional areas of each user so that we can choose suitable users to answer a given question. To make most questions be answered in time, a load balancing component is used to balance the work of each user. Moreover, a question priority queue is maintained to ensure the important questions to be recommended earlier. Preliminary experiments show our proposed mechanism's accuracy in question recommendation and efficacy in load balancing for all users. © 2008 ACM.
