Abstract
Bloggers often add tags (or keywords) chosen from an uncontrolled vocabulary to blog posts to enable browsing and searching on posts. Many of the tags are related to the events described in the blog posts. The purpose of this project is to detect events based on the tags and also the blog posts content. The evolvement of the tags used to describe the same event at different time points reflects the change of views among bloggers. [1st Award]
