Textual information exchanged among users on online social network platforms provides deep understanding into users' interest and behavioral patterns. However, unlike traditional text-dominant settings such as o ine publishing, one distinct feature for online social network is users' rich interactions with the textual content, which, unfortunately, has not yet been well incorporated in the existing topic modeling frameworks. In this paper, we propose an LDA-based behavior-topic model (B-LDA) which jointly models user topic interests and behavioral patterns. We focus the study of the model on online social network settings such as microblogs like Twitter where the textual content is relatively …

People often issue informational queries to search engines to find out more about some entities or events. While a Wikipedia-like summary would be an ideal answer to such queries, not all queries have a corresponding Wikipedia entry. In this work we propose to study query-oriented keyphrase extraction, which can be used to assist search results summarization. We propose a general method for keyphrase extraction for our task, where we consider both phraseness and informativeness. We discuss three criteria for phraseness and four ways to compute informativeness scores. Using a large Wikipedia corpus and 40 queries, our empirical evaluation shows that …
