Abstract

In this paper we aim to model the relationship between the text of a political blog post and the comment volume-that is, the total amount of response-that a post will receive. We seek to accurately identify which posts will attract a high-volume response, and also to gain insight about the community of readers and their interests. We design and evaluate variations on a latent-variable topic model that links text to comment volume. Copyright © 2010, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (www.aaai.org).
