Internet Article Comment Classifier

Part of the Web 2.0 revolution of the Internet in the past few years has been the explosion of user comments on articles, blogs, media, and other uploaded content on various websites (e.g. Slashdot, Digg). Many of these comments are positive, facilitating discussion and adding humor to the webpage; however, there are also a multitude of comments – including spam/advertisements, blatantly offensive posts, trolls, and boring posts – that detract from the ease of reading of a page and contribute nothing to the discussion around it.
