Abstract

Q&A forum relies on people with common interest to provide answers to questions. Q&A communities present a large number of unanswered questions and an automatic methodology could recommend related answers or establish relationships between associated topics. In this paper we propose to investigate the correlation of semantic entities of questions and answers in Q&A communities. The results obtained can be used as support for future recommendations for answers to unanswered questions in Q&A communities, without the intervention of experts.
