Abstract
An aspect of topic generation includes parsing communications conducted by users through an application. The communications include a communication generated by a sender and response communications received from recipients in reply to the communication generated by the sender. An aspect also includes identifying keywords, timestamps, and indications of sentiment from the parsed communications through natural language processing, determining a focus of the communication generated by the sender based on the keywords identified from the parsing, and formulating a topic for a publication based on criteria including a frequency of occurrence of the keywords in the parsed communications, a threshold level of the indications of sentiment that appear in the parsed communications, and/or a number of the communications containing one or more of the keywords having corresponding timestamps that fall within a threshold period of time. An aspect further includes submitting the topic for publication to the sender.
