Stack Overflow has undoubtedly become a big trend among the programmers and researchers. The problems or doubts faced by any programmer are put on this forum making it available to many knowledgeable people and hence giving out possibly correct solutions. This paper focuses on Tag based Answer Recommendation System on Stack Overflow. This model follows Topic Modeling methodology wherein two techniques were attempted, i.e., LSA(Latent semantic analysis) and LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation). These methods deal with various User Queries to find out the most similar questions from the database and hence, deliver the most valid answers related to the question as output. The results from both the Topic Modeling techniques were analyzed with the help of Cosine Similarity as metrics and hence, we found out that LDA performed better than LSA, thereby giving better and more accurate results.

Abstract
Stack Overflow has undoubtedly become a big trend among the programmers and researchers. The problems or doubts faced by any programmer are put on this forum making it available to many knowledgeable people and hence giving out possibly correct solutions. This paper focuses on Tag based Answer Recommendation System on Stack Overflow. This model follows Topic Modeling methodology wherein two techniques were attempted, i.e., LSA(Latent semantic analysis) and LDA(Latent Dirichlet Allocation). These methods deal with various User Queries to find out the most similar questions from the database and hence, deliver the most valid answers related to the question as output. The results from both the Topic Modeling techniques were analyzed with the help of Cosine Similarity as metrics and hence, we found out that LDA performed better than LSA, thereby giving better and more accurate results.
