1. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- collecting posts to a social network and responses to each post by a social network community;
binning the posts into different post classes based on a number of the responses to each post;
extracting features from the posts, the extracted features including at least one non-textual feature; and
forming a prediction model by applying a learning model to the different classes of posts and the extracted features.

Abstract
This document describes techniques for predicting reactions to short-text posts. In one or more implementations, a prediction model for short-text posts is generated from previous posts to a social network and responses to the posts by the social network community. Subsequently, the prediction model can be used to predict the social network community'"'"'s reaction to a proposed post prior to the proposed post being posted to the social network.

12. A system comprising:
one or modules implemented at least partially in hardware, the one or more modules configured to perform operations comprising; receiving a request to predict a reaction, by a social network community, to a proposed post prior to the proposed post being posted; extracting one or more features from the proposed post; comparing the one or more extracted features of the proposed post to features associated with different post classes of a prediction model; selecting a post class of the different post classes that includes features that are most similar to the extracted features of the proposed post; and predicting the reaction by the social network community to the proposed post based on a number of responses received by posts in the selected post class. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
collecting posts to a social network and responses to each post; automatically binning the posts into different post classes based on a number of the responses to each post; extracting features from the posts; generating a prediction model by applying a learning model to the different post classes and the extracted features; receiving a request to predict a reaction to a proposed post prior to the proposed post being posted to the social network; and predict the reaction to the proposed post using the learning model. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
