Abstract
Techniques, systems, and articles of manufacture for identifying event-specific social discussion threads. A method includes identifying a spatial relationship and one or more additional relationships across two or more topical clusters derived from a text source, extracting one or more temporally evolving discussion sequences across the two or more topical clusters, identifying at least one social discussion thread across the two or more topical clusters by identifying a correlation between the one or more additional relationships and the one or more temporally evolving discussion sequences, and to identifying a geographically-constrained social discussion thread among the at least one identified social discussion thread by identifying a correlation between the spatial relationship across the two or more topical clusters and the at least one identified social discussion thread.
