REAL-TIME EVENT DETECTION ON SOCIAL DATA STREAMS

摘要

According to an aspect, a method for event detection on social data streams includes receiving a stream of messages exchanged on a messaging platform, and detecting an event from the stream of messages, which may include detecting a first cluster group of trending entities over a first period of time, detecting a second group of trending entities over a second period of time, and generating a cluster chain by linking the second cluster group with the first cluster group, where the cluster chain represents the detected event over the first and second periods of time. The method includes storing the event as the cluster chain in a memory device on the messaging platform.
