Abstract

In the past few years, research about event detection has been devoted to a lot. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to detect hot events that spread within social media. Specifically, we build a directed weighted graph of words named EventGraph, in which events are embedded in the form of sub-graphs or communities. Lastly, we put forward a key node based event community detection method, which improve the efficiency of graph based event detection algorithms.
