Tracking unbounded Topic Streams
2015
Tracking topics on social media streams is non-trivial as the number of topics mentioned grows without bound. This complexity is compounded when we want to track such topics against other fast moving streams. We go beyond traditional small scale topic tracking and consider a stream of topics against another document stream. We introduce two tracking approaches which are fully applicable to true streaming environments. When tracking 4.4 million topics against 52 million documents in constant time and space, we demonstrate that counter to expectations, simple single-pass clustering can outperform locality sensitive hashing for nearest neighbour search on streams.
