    Danmaku commenting has become popular for co-viewing on video-sharing platforms, such as Nicovideo. However, many irrelevant comments usually contaminate the quality of the information provided by videos. Such an information pollutant problem can be solved by a comment classifier trained with an abstention option, which detects comments whose video categories are unclear. To improve the performance of this classification task, this paper presents Nicovideo-specific language representations. Specifically, we used sentences from Nicopedia, a Japanese online encyclopedia of entities that possibly appear in Nicovideo contents, to pre-train a bidirectional encoder representations from Transformers (BERT) model. The resulting model named Nicopedia BERT is then fine-tuned such that it could determine whether a given comment falls into any of predefined categories. The experiments conducted on Nicovideo comment data demonstrated the effectiveness of Nicopedia BERT compared with existing BERT models pre-trained using Wikipedia or tweets. We also evaluated the performance of each model in an additional sentiment classification task, and the obtained results implied the applicability of Nicopedia BERT as a feature extractor of other social media text.
