abstract = "Bug reports and the user comments associated with them are an important source of information for developers. When many comments are posted in response to a bug description, the discussion becomes difficult to understand. In order to keep discussions coherent and easy to understand, comments should specify if they contain responses to previously posted comments and should not refer to more than one topic. We propose a system, which recommends developers a set of comments related to their own comment, such that developers can explicitly make connections between the new comment and existing ones. The goal is to improve the readability of the discussion thread.",
