Patent number: 9477755Abstract: Methods, products, apparatus, and systems may identify one or more relevant social communities for one or more questions. Additionally, a user-question affinity value between a user and a question may be determined. In addition, a user-community affinity value between the user and each of a plurality of candidate social communities may be determined. Moreover, a question-community affinity value between the question and each of the plurality of candidate social communities may be determined based on the user-question affinity value and the user-community affinity value. The question-community affinity value determination may involve calculating a running average using the user-question affinity value and the user-community affinity value. The question-community affinity value may identify the one or more relevant social communities from the plurality of candidate social communities.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tolga Oral, Daniel Rucci, Thomas Schaeck, Meggan H.
