ABSTRACT
Microblogging websites such as Twitter and Chinese Sina Weibo contain large amounts of microblogs posted by users. Many of these microblogs are highly sensitive to the important real-world events and correlated to the news events. Thus, microblogs from these websites can be collected as comments for the news to reveal the opinions and attitude towards the news event among large number of users. In this paper, we present a framework to automatically collect relevant microblogs from microblogging websites to generate comments for popular news on news websites.
