Resumo(s)
Real-time search in Twitter and other social media services is often biased
towards the most recent results due to the “in the moment” nature of topic
trends and their ephemeral relevance to users and media in general. However,
“in the moment”, it is often difficult to look at all emerging topics and single-out
the important ones from the rest of the social media chatter. This thesis proposes
to leverage on external sources to estimate the duration and burstiness of live
Twitter topics. It extends preliminary research where itwas shown that temporal
re-ranking using external sources could indeed improve the accuracy of results.
To further explore this topic we pursued three significant novel approaches: (1)
multi-source information analysis that explores behavioral dynamics of users,
such as Wikipedia live edits and page view streams, to detect topic trends
and estimate the topic interest over time; (2) efficient methods for federated
query expansion towards the improvement of query meaning; and (3) exploiting
multiple sources towards the detection of temporal query intent. It differs from
past approaches in the sense that it will work over real-time queries, leveraging
on live user-generated content. This approach contrasts with previous methods
that require an offline preprocessing step.
