Article comments can provide supplementary opinions and facts for readers, thereby increase the attraction and engagement of articles.

• Therefore, automatically commenting is helpful in improving the activeness of the community, such as online forums and news websites.
• Previous work shows that training an automatic commenting system requires large parallel corpora.
