Abstract

Social posts and their comments are rich and interesting social data. In this study, we aim to classify comments as relevant or irrelevant to the content of their posts. Since the comments in social media are usually short, their bag-of-words (BoW) representations are highly sparse. We investigate four semantic vector representations for the relevance classification task. We investigate different types of large unlabeled data for learning the distributional representations. We also empirically demonstrate that expanding the input of the task to include the post text does not improve the classification performance over using only the comment text. We show that representing the comment in the post space is a cheap and good representation for comment relevance classification.
