Inverse Dynamical Inheritance in Stack Exchange Taxonomies

Abstract: Question Answering websites are popular repositories of expert knowledge and cover areas as diverse as linguistics, computer science, or mathematics. Knowledge is commonly organized via user defined tags which implicitly create population folksonomies. However, the interplay between latent knowledge structures and the answering behavior of users has not been fully explored yet. Here, we propose a model of a dynamical tagging process guided by taxonomies, devise a robust algorithm that allow us to uncover hidde… Show more

“…Among those, data from the discussions were used to discover the evolution of topic trends in a developer community [ 43 , 44 ], to predict answer quality [ 45 ] or user participation [ 46 ], to identify experts [ 47 ], to recommend solutions to programming errors [ 48 ], and to analyze social interactions inside the cooperative community [ 49 , 50 ]. The collaborative tagging system applied within the communities and its implications have also been the focus of previous work [ 17 , 26 , 27 ].…”

“…While the participants’ straightforward engagement with the discussion comprises either posting questions or answering others’ questions, cumulative research suggests that they are also engaged in structuring and organizing the discussion content for the good of the community. Organizing efforts can include explicit activities of introducing shared meanings such as categorizing [ 25 ], or tagging [ 4 , 17 , 26 , 27 ]. They can also include social activities that contribute to the discussion’s shaping by enhancing the salience of certain questions or answers, e.g.…”
