Structure-aware topic clustering in social media
Julien Dubuc, Sabine Bergler · 2010
The rapid evolution and growth of social media software has enabled hundreds of millions to interact within on-line communities on a global scale. While they enable communication through a common set of metaphors, such as discussion threads and quoting text in replies, this software uses a variety of diverging ways of representing discussion. Since the meaning of a conversation is defined not only by the content of a piece of text, but also by the relationships between pieces of text, part of the meaning of the discussion is obscured from automated processing.
