Abstract
A method and system for detecting an event from a social stream. The method includes the steps of: receiving a social stream from a social network, where the social stream includes at least one object and the object includes a text, sender information of the text, and recipient information of the text; assigning said object to a cluster based on a similarity value between the object and the clusters; monitoring changes in at least one of the clusters; and triggering an alarm when the changes in at least one of the clusters exceed a first threshold value, where at least one of the steps is carried out using a computer device.
