• Title: Temporal Analysis of Drifting Hashtags in Textual Data Streams: A Graph-Based Application
• Authors: Cristiano M. Garcia, Alceu de Souza Britto Jr, Jean Paul Barddal,
• Abstract summary: We analyze hashtag drifts over time using concepts from graph analysis and textual data streams. Our approach can be useful for monitoring changes over time in opinions and sentiment patterns about an entity on social media. The year 2021 was the most significant drifting year, in which the communities detected and their respective sizes suggest that #mybodymychoice had a significant drift to vaccination and Covid-19-related topics.

• Abstract: Initially supported by Twitter, hashtags are now used on several social media platforms. Hashtags are helpful for tagging, tracking, and grouping posts on similar topics. In this paper, based on a hashtag stream regarding the hashtag #mybodymychoice, we analyze hashtag drifts over time using concepts from graph analysis and textual data streams using the Girvan-Newman method to uncover hashtag communities in annual snapshots between 2018 and 2022. In addition, we offer insights about some correlated hashtags found in the study. Our approach can be useful for monitoring changes over time in opinions and sentiment patterns about an entity on social media. Even though the hashtag #mybodymychoice was initially coupled with women's rights, abortion, and bodily autonomy, we observe that it suffered drifts during the studied period across topics such as drug legalization, vaccination, political protests, war, and civil rights. The year 2021 was the most significant drifting year, in which the communities detected and their respective sizes suggest that #mybodymychoice had a significant drift to vaccination and Covid-19-related topics.

  We propose RetrIeval-augmented Generative Mainstream HashTag Recommender (RIGHT) RIGHT consists of three components: 1) a retriever seeks relevant hashtags from the entire tweet-hashtags set; 2) a selector enhances mainstream identification by introducing global signals; and 3) a generator incorporates input tweets and selected hashtags to directly generate the desired hashtags. Our method achieves significant improvements over state-of-the-art baselines. Moreover, RIGHT can be easily integrated into large language models, improving the performance of ChatGPT by more than 10%.

  A hashtag is formed by tokens or phrases that may originate from various fragmentary segments of the original text. We propose an end-to-end Transformer-based generation model which consists of three phases: encoding, segments-selection, and decoding. We introduce two large-scale hashtag generation datasets, which are newly collected from Chinese Weibo and English Twitter.

A comparison of hit ratio with the classical evaluation metrics reveals their limitations.
