  abstract  = {We examine the extent to which we are able to automatically identify
	constructive online comments. We build several classifiers using New York Times
	Picks as positive examples and non-constructive thread comments from the Yahoo
	News Annotated Comments Corpus as negative examples of constructive online
	comments. We evaluate these classifiers on a crowd-annotated corpus containing
	1,121 comments. Our best classifier achieves a top F1 score of 0.84.},
