  abstract  = {This paper introduces the NIFTY-Serve corpus, a large data archive collected
	from Japanese discussion forums that operated via a Bulletin Board System (BBS)
	between 1987 and 2006. This corpus can be used in Artificial Intelligence
	researches such as Natural Language Processing, Community Analysis, and so on.
	The NIFTY-Serve corpus differs from data on WWW in three ways; (1) essentially
	spam- and duplication-free because of strict data collection procedures, (2)
	historic user-generated data before WWW, and (3) a complete data set because
	the service now shut down. We also introduce some examples of use of the
	corpus.},
