Quora values canonical questions because they provide a better experience to active seekers and writers, and offer more value to both of these groups in the long term. so main aim of project is that predicting whether pair of questions are similar or not. This could be useful to instantly provide answers to questions that have already been answered. Credits: Kaggle
