Continuous and summarised search over evolving heterogeneous data

该项目旨在设计一个搜索引擎，监测和检索多个社交媒体和微博平台。该引擎以个性化的、持续更新的摘要形式呈现搜索结果。倒排索引结构系统地捕获并提供对所有监控内容的轻松访问，包括文本，链接和关系数据。该结构实现了连续搜索范式，该范式跟踪搜索结果的内容和流行度的更新。预计这将有助于组织和政府跟踪，理解和利用社交媒体。

The project aims to design a search engine that monitors and retrieves over multiple social media and micro-blogging platforms. The engine presents search results in a personalised continuously updated summary. An inverted index structure systematically captures and provides easy access to all monitored content, including text, linked and relational data. The structure enables a continuous search paradigm that tracks updates on both the content and popularity of search results. This is expected to help organisations and governments track, understand and exploit social media.
