A Novel Online Event Analysis Framework for Micro-blog Based on Incremental Topic Modeling

Abstract

In this paper, we present a scalable implementation of a topic modeling (Adaptive Link-IPLSA) based method for online event analysis, which summarize the gist of massive amount of changing tweets and enable users to explore the temporal trends in topics. This model also can simultaneously maintain the continuity of the latent semantics to better capture the time line development of events. With the help of this model, users can quickly grasp major topics in these twitters. The preliminary results show that our method leads to more balanced and comprehensive improvement for online event detection compared to benchmark approaches. Additionally our algorithm is computationally feasible in near real-time scenarios making it an attractive alternative for capturing the rapidly changing dynamics of microblogs.
