Study of Identification of Trending Political Hashtags From Tweets, Retweets, and Retweeters

Abstract

Microblogging services such as Twitter are said to have the potential for increasing political participation. Twitter is an ideal platform for users to spread not only information in general but also political opinions through their networks as Twitter may also be used to publicly agree with, as well as to reinforce, someone’s political opinions or thoughts. collecting tweets posted on a particular issue, then according to his tweet there are re-tweeters who reply to his tweets in a positive manner and in negative manner and again there are re-tweeters who tweet on the reply of retweeters, so there will be multiple re-tweets for the re-tweets. As there will be many tweets on issues its a need to classify the tweet based on #tags. Traditional information filtering used the term-based user posts. It collects the tweets based on particular keywords. Collaborative filtering used for additional filtering to remove tweets such as redundant ones, and ones which are not relevant to the political events. By traditional filtering approach the system effectiveness get compromised but by using collaborative filtering compromisation of system effectiveness is reduced.
