Predicting how much time will it take to get the answer of posted question on StackOverflow.com

Problem Statement:

One advantage of large scale collaborative sites like Wikipedia and StackOverflow is the speed at which new information accumulates. Some questions on StackOverflow seemed to get answered immediately while others sit around for a while. As you are writing your question, it would be cool to have an idea of how long it might take to get answered. How well can you predict the time until a question gets answered? This will likely depend on the subject matter of the question, since some programming communities are more active than others.

Dataset Attributes:

The matrix it contains has the following attributes:

qid: Unique question id i: User id of questioner qs: Score of the question qt: Time of the question (in epoch time) tags: a comma-separated list of the tags associated with the question. Examples of tags are html'', R'', mysql'', python'', and so on; often between two and six tags are used on each question. qvc: Number of views of this question (at the time of the datadump) qac: Number of answers for this question (at the time of the datadump) aid: Unique answer id j: User id of answerer as: Score of the answer at: Time of the answer
