Quora is an amazing platform where questions are asked, answered, followed, and edited by internet companies. This empowers people to learn from each other and to better understand the world. About 100 million people visit Quora every month, so it’s no surprise that many people ask similarly worded questions. It’s not a better side from quora to ask its followers to write an answer for the same question. So it will be better if there is a system that is capable of detecting that a new question is similar to the questions that have already been answered.
So our problem statement is to predict whether a pair of questions are duplicates or not. We will use various machine learning techniques to come up with a solution for this. This blog is not a complete code walkthrough, but I will explain various approaches I used to solve the problem. You can have a look at my code from my Github repository.
