Unsupervised adaptive microblog filtering for broad dynamic topics

作者:

Highlights:

• Broad topics on Twitter are highly dynamic.

• Boolean filtering retrieve high precision but limited number of tweets.

• A proposed adaptive filtering achieved 84% gain in recall with slight drop in prec.

• Proposed method showed robustness over time, across domains, and query formulations.

• Our method is currently adopted in a live service that follows news from Twitter.
