Topic initiator detection on the world wide web
Xin Yu Jin, Scott Spangler, Rui Ma, Jiawei Han · 2010
In this paper we introduce a new Web mining and search technique - Topic Initiator Detection (TID) on the Web. Given a topic query on the Internet and the resulting collection of time-stamped web documents which contain the query keywords, the task of TID is to automatically return which web document (or its author) initiated the topic or was the first to discuss about the topic.
