4. Near-duplicate Question Detection

   Preetam Prabhu Srikar Dammu, and Omar Alonso

   In Companion Proceedings of the ACM Web Conference 2024, 2024

   Suggesting relevant questions to users is an important task in various applications, such as community Q&A or e-commerce websites. To ensure that there is no redundancy in the selected set of candidate questions, it is essential to filter out any near-duplicate questions. Identifying near-duplicate questions has another use case in light of the adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) - fetching pre-computed answers for similar questions. However, identifying the similarity of questions is a bit more complex in comparison to generic text, as questions entail open-ended information that is not explicitly contained within the wording of the question itself. We introduce a taxonomy that accounts for the subtle intricacies characteristic of near-duplicate questions and propose a method for detecting them utilizing the capabilities of LLMs.
