Life Cycle Modeling of News Events Using Aging Theory

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive news event detection method is proposed. We consider a news event as a life form and propose an aging theory to model its life span. A news event becomes popular with a burst of news reports, and it fades away with time. We incorporate the proposed aging theory into the traditional single-pass clustering algorithm to model life spans of news events. Experiment results show that the proposed method has fairly good performance for both long-running and short-term events compared to other approaches.
