Discovering Concept-Level Event Associations from a Text Stream
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study an open text mining problem – discovering concept-level event associations from a text stream. We investigate the importance and challenge of this task and propose a novel solution by using event sequential patterns. The proposed approach can discover important event associations implicitly expressed. The discovered event associations are general and useful as knowledge for applications such as event prediction.

Applications and Discovery of Granularity Structures in Natural Language Discourse
Granularity is the concept of breaking down an event into smaller parts or granules such that each individual granule plays a part in the higher level event. Humans can seamlessly shift their granularity perspectives while reading or understanding a text. To emulate such a mechanism, we describe a theory for inferring this information automatically from raw input text descriptions and some back...
متن کاملEvent Detection with Burst Information Networks
Retrospective event detection is an important task for discovering previously unidentified events in a text stream. In this paper, we propose two fast centroid-aware event detection models based on a novel text stream representation – Burst Information Networks (BINets) for addressing the challenge, following the D2N2K (Data-to-Network-to-Knowledge) paradigm. The BINets are time-aware, efficien...
متن کاملDetecting Events in a Million New York Times Articles
We present a demonstration of a newly developed text stream event detection method on over a million articles from the New York Times corpus. The event detection is designed to operate in a predominantly on-line fashion, reporting new events within a specified timeframe. The event detection is achieved by detecting significant changes in the statistical properties of the text where those proper...
متن کاملEvent Intensity Tracking in Weblog Collections
Event tracking is the task of discovering temporal patterns of events from text streams. Existing approaches for event tracking have two limitations: scalability and their inability to rule out non-relevant portions within texts in the stream ‘relevant’ to the event of interest. In this study, we propose a novel approach to tackle these limitations. To demonstrate our approach, we track news ev...
متن کاملDiscovering Representative Episodal Association Rules from Event Sequences Using Frequent Closed Episode Sets and Event Constraints
Discovering association rules from time-series data is an important data mining problem. The number of potential rules grows quickly as the number of items in the antecedent grows. It is therefore difficult for an expert to analyze the rules and identify the useful. An approach for generating representative association rules for transactions that uses only a subset of the set of frequent itemse...
