Solutions  are  found  in  the  repositories  of  forums  and  their  automated  extraction  is  an important task. People are interested only in those forums which might contain answers to their problems. Effective techniques for mining forums can significantly reduce searching and  navigation  time  to  find  a  solution.  However,  mining  of  knowledge  from  online discussion  forums  is  not  an  easy  task.  The  goal  of this  research  is  to  find  the  appropriate discussion  thread  from  forum  which  was  answered.  A method  is  proposed  to  find  the answered  thread  in  a  forum.  To  achieve  this  goal,  question  post  is  detected  first  and  then the  thread  is  classified  as  answered  or  unanswered by  tracing  satisfaction  of  the  user. Finally, the post which contains solution is predicted from the answered threads.  aThesis (M.Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2010 0aElectronic discussion groups1 aSumanta, Guha,eChairperson1 aPhan, Minh Dung,eExamination Committee1 aErke, Tapio J.,eExamination Committee2 aGovernment of Finland,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology Fellowship,eScholarship donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tThesis ;vno.
