Abstract
Twitter plays a significant role in information diffusion and has evolved to an important information resource as well as news feed. People wonder and care about what is happening on Twitter and what news it is bringing to us every moment. However, with huge amount of data, it is impossible to tell what topic is trending on time manually, which makes real-time topic detection attractive and significant. Furthermore, Twitter provides a platform of opinion sharing and sentiment expression for events, news, products etc. Users intend to tell what they are really thinking about on Twitter thus makes Twitter a valuable source of opinions. Nevertheless, most works about trending topic detection fail to take sentiment into consideration. This work is based on a non-parametric supervised real-time trending topic detection model with sentimental feature. Experiment shows our model successfully detects trending sentimental topic in the shortest time. After a combination of multiple features, e.g. tweet volume and user volume, it demonstrates impressive effectiveness with 82.3% recall and surpasses all the competitors.
