Event Detection and Visualization for Social Text Streams
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose to detect events from social text streams by exploring the content as well as the temporal, and social dimensions. We define the term event in the social text streams(e.g., blogs, emails, and Usenets) as a set of relations between social actors on a specific topic over a certain time period. We represent social text streams as multi-graphs, where each node represents a social actor and each edge represents a piece of text communication that connects two actors. The content and temporal associations within each text piece are embedded in the corresponding edge. Then, events are detected by combining text-based clustering, temporal segmentation, and graph cuts of social networks. Moreover, we provide a multi-dimensional visualization tool that visualizes the relations between different events along the three different dimensions. Experiments conducted with the Enron email dataset show the advantages of exploring the social and temporal dimensions along with content, and the usefulness of the visualization tool.

Event Detection in Social Streams
Social networks generate a large amount of text content over time because of continuous interaction between participants. The mining of such social streams is more challenging than traditional text streams, because of the presence of both text content and implicit network structure within the stream. The problem of event detection is also closely related to clustering, because the events can on...

متن کاملWhat Is New in Our City? A Framework for Event Extraction Using Social Media Posts
Post streams from public social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter have become precious but noisy data sources to discover what is happening around us. In this paper, we focus on the problem of detecting and presenting local events in real time using social media content. We propose a novel framework for real-time city event detection and extraction. The proposed framework first appl...
متن کاملTemporal and Information Flow Based Event Detection from Social Text Streams
Recently, social text streams (e.g., blogs, web forums, and emails) have become ubiquitous with the evolution of the web. In some sense, social text streams are sensors of the real world. Often, it is desirable to extract real world events from the social text streams. However, existing event detection research mainly focused only on the stream properties of social text streams but ignored the ...
