Popis: We present a supervised approach to automat- ically labelling topic clusters of reader com- ments to online news. We use a feature set that includes both features capturing proper- ties local to the cluster and features that cap- ture aspects from the news article and from comments outside the cluster. We evaluate the approach in an automatic and a manual, task-based setting. Both evaluations show the approach to outperform a baseline method, which uses tf*idf to select comment-internal terms for use as topic labels. We illustrate how cluster labels can be used to generate cluster summaries and present two alternative sum- mary formats: a pie chart summary and an ab- stractive summary.
