Abstract

Twitter is a popular micro-blogging service, and one of the main means of spreading ideas and information throughout the web. In this system, participants post short status messages called tweets that are often available publicly. Recently, the exponential growth of tweets has started to draw the attention of researchers from various disciplines. Numerous research approaches in the data mining field have examined Twitter. How to automatically extract useful information from tweets has therefore become an important research topic. The aim of this paper is to bring up what's up which is a new approach of tweets mining. It is a more general approach that discovers many different trending topics from tweets in real-time. Trending topics have generated big interest not only for the users of Twitter but also for information seekers. Our trending topics are detected for a specific geographic town and compared with the top trending topics shown on Twitter. They are presented by labelled clusters that constitute an accurate description of each trending topic. Each cluster is labelled by an emerging trending topic and is composed of keywords that represent the properties of the trending topic.
