| Abstract |
Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) refers to automatic techniques for locating topically related material in streams of
data such as newswire and broadcast news. DARPA-sponsored research has made enormous progress during the past three
years, and the tasks have been made progressively more difficult and realistic. Well-designed corpora and objective performance
evaluations have enabled this success. |
