Abstract

Microblogging services, such as Twitter and Sina Weibo, have gained tremendous popularity in recent years. The huge amount of user-generated information is spread on microblogs. Such user-generated contents are a mixture of different bursty topics (e.g., breaking news) and general topics (e.g., user interests). However, it is challenging to discriminate between them due to the extremely diverse and noisy user-generated text. In this paper, we introduce a novel topic model to detect bursty topics from microblogs. Our model is based on an observation that different topics usually exhibit different bursty levels at a certain time. We propose to utilize the topic-level burstiness to differentiate bursty topics and non-bursty topics and particularly different bursty topics. Extensive experiments on a Sina Weibo Dataset show that our approach outperforms the baselines and the state-of-the-art method.
