US 2014/0280052 A1 · KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY USING COLLECTIONS OF SOCIAL INFORMATION

Abstract

Architecture that enables access to high quality summaries of trending topics of social media data, and presents to a consumer an aggregated view of the social activity of a unit of information of interest across different networks (and then defined by increments of time, if desired). The social network data is mined to extract associated attributes as well as popular hashtags, links, etc. This provides a consumer with a single interface for all relevant social activity associated with a user query and enable the capability to browse through the unit(s) of information via the interface. The user can also follow (track) the unit(s) of information of interest as well as receive personalized notifications (e.g., emails) thereby keeping the consumer current with trends on a time basis (e.g., daily, weekly, etc.).

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

an access component that accesses disparate social media trend data summaries of correspondingly disparate social networks, the social media trend data summaries commonly related to a given period of time;
a derivation component that derives popular units of information from the disparate trend data summaries;
an aggregation component that aggregates the popular units of information into an aggregated view, the aggregated view characterizes social activity for the given period of time;
and
a microprocessor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the access component, the derivation component, or the aggregation component to facilitate knowledge discovery in social networks.
