Abstract

A computer-implemented method routes a current question to one or more of a plurality of online communities. A computer system can determine, for the current question presented by an asking user a plurality of question-to-question similarity values, a plurality of question-to-user similarity values and a plurality of question-to-community similarity values. The system can select one or more of the plurality of online communities based on the similarity values. The system can route the current question presented by the asking user to the selected one or more of the plurality of online communities.
