3、cs are mixed up in the social media platforms such as Twitter, Weibo and Delicious; Temporal Topics are temporally coherent meaningful themes. They are time-sensitive and often on popular real-life events or hot spots, i.e., breaking events in the real world. Stable Topics are often on users regular

7、que Burst-Weighted Smoothing Experiments Q/A,Problem Formulation,A user-time-associated document d is a text document associated with a time stamp and a user. A temporal topic is a temporally coherent theme. In other words, the words that are emerging in the close time dimension are clustered in a t

Formally, a temporal/stable topic is represented by a word distribution where,Problem Formulation (Cont.),A topic distribution in time dime

13、ts Q/A,A User-Time Mixture Model,Main InsightsTo find both temporal and stable topics in a unified manner, we propose a topic model that simultaneously captures two observations: Words generated around the same time are more likely to have the same event-driven temporal topicWords generated by the s

The former helps find event-driven temporal topics while the latter helps identify interest-driven stable topics.,Combine user and time information We assume that when a user u generates a word w at time t, he/she is probably in

15、fluenced by two factors: the breaking news/events occurring in time t and his/her intrinsic interests. Breaking events are modeled by temporal topics and user intrinsic interests are modeled by stable topics.,The likelihood that user u generates word w at time t is as follows:Parameters and are mixi

21、ser-Temporal Mixture Model Enhancement of the basic solution Regularization Technique Burst-Weighted Boosting Experiments Q/A,Insights,In topic models, the words with high occurrence rate, i.e., popular words, enjoy high probabilities to appear at top positions in each discovered topic. These popula

22、r words are mostly general words, denoting abstract concepts. In stable topics, they can illustrate the domain of topics at the first glimpse. However, in temporal topics, words with notable bursty feature are superior in expressing temporal information since users are more interested in bursty word

23、s than in abstract concepts when browsing temporal topic,Example: Michael Jacksons Death,In this temporal topic, we expect that bursty words “mj”, “michael jackson” “moonwalk” become the dominant words rather than the general words “world”, “news” and “death”.But they cannot be removed as stop words

24、, since they can help illustrate the stable topics.,Burst-Weighted Boosting,We implement a bursty boosting step to escalate the probability of these bursty words during the procedure of detecting temporal topics. We first compute the bursty-degree of each word in each time interval. (Yao et al. ICDE

25、2010) A boosting step is then taken after each few E-M iterations, as follows. In this step, a word w will have its generation probability boosted in a temporal topic only if ws bursty period overlaps with that of the topic.,Outline,Motivation Problem Formulation A Basic Solution A User-Temporal Mix
