SmartQ: A Question and Answer System for Supplying High-Quality and Trustworthy Answers

Question and Answer (QA SmartQ incorporates a lightweight spammer detection method to identify potential spammers. In order to reduce the loads of experts, we propose a strategy to recommend suggested answers from similar questions to each new question. Our trace-driven simulation on PeerSim demonstrates the effectiveness of SmartQ in providing good user experience. We then develop a real application of SmartQ and deploy it for use in a student group in Clemson University. The user feedback shows that SmartQ can provide high-quality answers for users in a community.
