Abstract

Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in analyzing inherent structures in posts on microblogs such as Twitter. While many works utilize a well-known topic modeling technique, we instead propose to apply Affinity Propagation [4] (AP) to analyze such a corpus, and we hypothesize that AP may provide different perspective to the traditional approach. Our preliminary analysis raises some interesting facts and issues, which suggest future research directions.
