Best answers of the most frequently asked questions

I could call it "BAMFAQ"; it is the idea to create of database of the most frequent answers to the most frequent questions. It is common to the see the same questions repeated again and again in different forums.

- The idea is to crawl the different forums and to collect all the questions and their answers, so that will be the first step.
- The second step will be a classification of the questions in order to regroup the similar questions. The classification will be unsupervised (clustering). So now, we have groups of similar questions with their answers.
- The third step will be the extraction of the 2 or 3 most frequent answers for each group of questions. Our database is almost ready, for each group of similar questions we have the 2-3 most frequent answers that we can suppose as the best answers.
