Abstract: Community-based question-answering web sites (CQAW) contain rich collections of question-answer pages, where a single question often has multiple answers written by different authors with different aspects. We study how to harvest new question-answer pairs from CQAWs so that each question-answer pair addresses just one aspect that are suitable for chatbots over a specific domain. In particular, we first extract all answers to a question from a CQAW site using DOM-tree similarities and features of answer areas, and then cluster the answers using LDA. Next, we form a sub-question for each cluster using a small number of top keywords in the given cluster with the keywords in the original question. We select the best answer to the sub-question based on user ratings and similarities of answers to the sub-question. Experimental results show that our approach is effective.
