Is Stack Overflow Overflowing With Questions and Tags
Programming question and answer (Q & A) websites, such as Quora, Stack
Overflow, and Yahoo! Answer etc. helps us to understand the programming
concepts easily and quickly in a way that has been tested and applied by many
software developers. Stack Overflow is one of the most frequently used
programming Q\&A website where the questions and answers posted are presently
analyzed manually, which requires a huge amount of time and resource. To save
the effort, we present a topic modeling based technique to analyze the words of
the original texts to discover the themes that run through them. We also
propose a method to automate the process of reviewing the quality of questions
on Stack Overflow dataset in order to avoid ballooning the stack overflow with
insignificant questions. The proposed method also recommends the appropriate
tags for the new post, which averts the creation of unnecessary tags on Stack
Overflow.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables Presented at Third International

Synchronization in an evolving network
In this work we study the dynamics of Kuramoto oscillators on a
stochastically evolving network whose evolution is governed by the phases of
the individual oscillators and degree distribution. Synchronization is achieved
after a threshold connection density is reached. This cumulative effect of
topology and dynamics has many real-world implications, where synchronization
in a system emerges as a collective property of its components in a
self-organizing manner. The synchronous state remains stable as long as the
connection density remains above the threshold value, with additional links
providing resilience against network fluctuations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
