Abstract
A system and method for identifying topics for short text communications is provided. Tokens are extracted from a short text communication. A query is generated using the extracted tokens. The query is applied to a set of documents. Those documents in the set that match the query are identified as search results. Salient terms associated with each of the search results are identified. A threshold is applied to the identified salient terms. The salient terms that satisfy the threshold are selected as topics for the short text communication.
