Abstract

This paper presents a novel time window based hot topic extraction model for news stream. The model considers both pervasiveness and burst feature of topic terms. Pervasiveness is evaluated by terms´ occurrences reported from different channels and burst is assessed by terms´ abnormal occurrence frequencies from different time intervals. An energy ratio threshold based approach for burst detection is adopted and time window is introduced for news text stream analysis. TF-PDF is then combined to weigh the terms. Experiment results demonstrate that our model is effective in topic extraction for news texts.
