Abstract
Microblogging services, such as Twitter, have become popular for people to share their opinions towards a broad range of topics. It is a great challenge to get an overview of some important topics by reading all tweets every day. Previous researches such as opinion detection and opinion summarization have been studied for this problem. However, these works mainly focus on the content of text without taking the quality of short text and features of social media into consideration. In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous graph model for users’ opinion detection on microblog. We first extract keywords of topics. Then, a three-level microblog graph is constructed by combining user influence, word importance, post significance, and topic periodicity. Microblog posts are ranked from different topics by using the random walk algorithm. Experimental results on real a dataset validate the effectiveness of our approach. In comparison with baseline approaches, the proposed method achieves 8 % improvement.
