  abstract  = {This work presents a dataset and annotation scheme for the new task of
	identifying “good” conversations that occur online, which we call ERICs:
	Engaging, Respectful, and/or Informative Conversations. We develop a taxonomy
	to reflect features of entire threads and individual comments which we believe
	contribute to identifying ERICs; code a novel dataset of Yahoo News comment
	threads (2.4k threads and 10k comments) and 1k threads from the Internet
	Argument Corpus; and analyze the features characteristic of ERICs. This is one
	of the largest annotated corpora of online human dialogues, with the most
	detailed set of annotations. It will be valuable for identifying ERICs and
	other aspects of argumentation, dialogue, and discourse.},
