Abstract

We present TwitterCracy, an exploratory search system that allows users to search and monitor across the Twitter streams of political entities. Its exploratory capabilities stem from the application of lightweight time-series based clustering together with biased PageRank to extract facets from tweets and presenting them in a manner that facilitates exploration.
