A Supervised Approach to Predict the Hierarchical Structure of Conversation Threads for Comments

Pseudocode 1

Pseudocode to calculate frequent patterns of authors appearance.

#Step  1.

For 𝑖=1 to #comments-1

     if Author(𝑖) != Author(𝑖+1)

          𝑓[Author(𝑖+1), Author(𝑖)]++;

     End if

End for

#Step  2.

For 𝑖=2 to #Comments //For each comment which looking for its parent

     For 𝑗=0 to 𝑖−1 //For each candidate

           FPScore(𝑖,𝑗)= 𝑓[Author(𝑖), Author(𝑗)] + 𝑓[Author(𝑗), Author(𝑖)];

     End for

End for
