Abstract:
Forums are structured environments that facilitate discussion around shared interests such as technology, sports, pet ownership, cooking techniques, etc. There are numerous forums for nearly every niche topic. Forums consist of threads, where each thread consists of an original post and responses to it. Subsets of original posts are queries related to the forumâ€™s topic. The responses to these posts are mostly expert answers due to the niche nature of the forum. However, not all
responses will be answers. Users can write anything in their response post.
Therefore, the aim of our project is separate and sort the responses based on whether it answers the original post or not.
Hence we will study the different methods that can be used for this purpose and use the best suitable method.
