摘　　要：该文提出了一种基于衰退理论对Flickr数据进行热点事件检测的方法。该方法首先将从Flickr图像中提取的视觉词汇(Visual Words)与图像的文本信息加权合并成文档。然后训练LDA模型获得文档的主题分布作为其最终向量表示。在此基础上提出了一种改进的Single-Pass算法进行事件检测,该算法不仅考虑了图片的地理位置信息,而且基于衰退理论(Aging Theory)对检测到的事件进行生命周期建模,以便计算事件在每个时间段的能量值。最后,根据能量值进行事件排序,获得给定时间段内的热点事件。在真实Flickr数据集上的实验结果表明所提出的方法在精确率、召回率和F1测度上优于传统事件检测方法。This paper proposes an aging theory based method to detect hot events in Flickr data. For each Flickr pho to, visual words are first extracted from it and then combined with the content of the attached as a document. An LDA model is trained to predict the topic distribution of each document, which is used as the final vector representa- tion of the document. An improved single-pass clustering algorithm is then proposed to detect events, which take the geographic information of a photo into account. Then aging theory is used to model the life cycles of sequential detected events, determining the energy value of events in each time slot. Finally, hot events in a specific time slot can be detected by ranking the events in terms of their energy value. Experimental results from real Flickr data show that the proposed approach outperforms traditional event detection methods in terms of precision, recall, and F1 value.
