ABSTRACT
User satisfaction in social question-and-answer (Q&A) systems depends on the quality of answers typically measured by a proxy metrics of user votes on the answers. We show that user votes in TurboTax AnswerXchange (AXC) can be predicted with reasonable accuracy based on the attributes of the question alone. This provides an opportunity for "pro-active" detection of potentially high or low quality content in real time while the question is still being formulated. As a result, undesirable content can be prevented by instructing the user to re-phrase the question. We can also optimize the AXC answer queue or tweak the AXC point system to generate higher quality answers.
