Stream Clustering of Tweets


Sophie Baillargeon, Simon Hallé and Christian Gagné


Abstract - This paper proposes an approach to cluster social media posts. It aims at taking full advantage of this recent source of newsworthy information and at facilitating the work of users who need to monitor public events in real-time. The emphasis is on developing a stream clustering algorithm able to process incoming tweets. A first implementation of the algorithm, focusing on the tweets' text, was tuned and tested on a dataset of manually annotated messages. Results show that the algorithm produces a partition of tweets similar to the manual partition obtained from humans. In future work, we plan to extend this algorithm with additional features and integrate the resulting analytical capabilities to a real-time social media monitoring platform called CrowdStack.
