Faced with the fact that there is a limited number of developers, one important way to meet such urgent needs is to significantly improve developers’ productivity. As the most popular Q&A site, Stack Overflow has accumulated abundant software development knowledge. Effectively leveraging such a big data can help developers reuse the experience there to further improve their working efficiency. However, the rich yet unstructured large-scale data in Stack Overflow makes it difficult to search due to two reasons. First, there are too many questions and answers within the site, and there may be lingual gap (the same meaning can be written in different languages) between the query and content in Stack Overflow.
