چکیده

Community question answering (CQA) has recently become a popular means of satisfying personal information needs, and methods for effectively retrieving information from CQA archives are attracting research interest as the number of reusable questions and answers are rapidly increasing. Rather than having to post a question and wait for an answer, an individual can often obtain an immediate answer by searching the archives. However, as the quality of archived answers varies widely, a method is needed for effectively extracting high-quality answers. In this study, we manually selected random questions and answers from the archives for Yahoo! Chiebukuro, a Japanese CQA site equivalent to Yahoo! Answers, had them evaluated by four assessors, and identified the criteria used by the assessors in their evaluations. These criteria should be useful in constructing a model for identifying high-quality answers.
