[4eyes] Reading Group :Patterns of temporal variation in online media

[Saiph Savage]

Hello Everyone,
This *Monday* I will be presenting the  paper *Patterns of temporal
variation in online media* from *WSDM'11* (International conference on Web
search and data mining) for our reading group at* 2 pm*.
The paper studies the temporal patterns of online content, analyzing how
the popularity of a certain type of content grows and fades over time, and
how different pieces of content compete for attention in an online
community. The paper proposes a very interesting K-Spectral Centroid (*K-SC*)
clustering algorithm for studying this problem. Their method was tested on
two large scale datasets of 580 million Tweets, and a set of 170 million
blog posts and news media articles.
Here is a link for the paper: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1935863
Looking forward to this interactive discussion!
cheers!
