Abstract
Disclosed herein is a mechanism, which may be in a community-driven system, to assist a user, or member of the community, to articulate a request, such as a question, that is likely to receive a response, e.g., an answer to a question posed, from the user community. A machine learning approach may be used to generate a model, which model may be trained using previously-posted requests, e.g., questions, and response, e.g., answers. The generated model may be used to make a prediction, e.g., to predict a potential number of answers for a given question, which prediction may also have an accompanying confidence score. A prediction generated by the model may be presented to the user as the user is providing the input, e.g., typing a question. Such prediction may be generated for a partial question, e.g., as the question is being typed, as well as a completed question.
