ASSISTING AN EXPERT TO ANSWER PREEXISTING QUESTIONS IN A TIME EFFICIENT MANNER

摘要

A method, system and computer program product for assisting an expert to answer preexisting questions in a time efficient manner. The expert's data entry in a data entry system is detected by a unit, referred to herein as the “analyzer.” The analyzer searches a database or social media websites to identify questions that could possibly be answered using the expert's inputted data. Such questions may be identified using tag searching, keyword searching and/or natural language processing. The analyzer performs analytical analysis on these identified questions to assign a relevance factor to assess how relevant is the expert's inputted data in answering the question. For those questions whose relevance factor exceeds a threshold, those questions are presented to the expert in a list. In this manner, the expert does not have to spend time searching social media websites for applicable questions to answer.
