Real-Time Predicting Bursting Hashtags On Twitter

A large number of hashtags are generated every day on Twitter. Only a few hashtags can become bursting topics. It is quite challenging to predict such bursting hashtags in real-time. In this paper, we provide the first definition of a bursting hashtag, and propose a solution to the real-time prediction problem of bursting hashtags. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other related methods.
