Abstract
Systems and methods for providing content associated with trending topics relevant to a user are described. An interest detection module identifies topics trending in one or more real-time content sources that are relevant to a user. The real-time content source(s) may include, for example, a source of microblog posts or other user-generated data, a news feed, or the like. The topics trending that are relevant to the user are identified by comparing a search history of the user with one or more trending topics stored in a database. A content retriever module is configured to return one or more documents to the user in response to identifying the one or more topics trending that are relevant to the user.
