Abstract

We use text mining mechanisms to analyze Hot days in news feeds. We build upon the earlier work used to detect Hot topics and assume that we have already attained the Hot days. In this paper we identify the most relevant documents of a topic on a Hot day. We construct a similarity based technique for identifying and ranking these documents. Our aim is to automatically detect chains of hot correlated events over time. We develop a scheme using similarity measures like cosine similarity and KL-divergence to find correlation between these Hot days. For the ‘U.S. Presidential Elections’, the presidential debates which spanned over a week was one such event.
