Pretrained Transformers for Text Ranking: BERT and Beyond (2020, background): “n the context of the TREC Filtering Tracks, which ran from 1995 [Lewis, 1995] to 2002 [Robertson and Soboroff, 2002], and the general research area of topic detection and tracking, also known as TDT [Allan, 2002]. The relationship between search and ﬁltering has been noted for decades: Belkin and Cr”

Assessor Differences and User Preferences in Tweet Timeline Generation (2015, background): “At a high level, the tweet timeline generation task bears a family resemblance to topic detection and tracking (TDT) [33, 3], “other” nuggets in question answering [32, 9, 8], nugget-based evaluations in DARPA’s BOLT program, 1 and temporal summarization at TREC [12, 5].”

Hip and trendy: Characterizing emerging trends on Twitter (2011, background): “In subsequent sections we qualitatively examine a subset TQual of the trends in T to extract the key types of trends that are present in Twitter data and develop a set of dimensions according to which trends can be categorized.”
Information diffusion through blogspace (2004, background): “The field of topic detection and trackinghas studied this problem in depth for a number of years—NIST has run a series of workshops and open evaluation challenges [30]; see also, for example, [3].”
Emerging topic detection on Twitter based on temporal and social terms evaluation (2010, background): “It tells people what they care about as it is happening in the world.”
Toponym resolution in text: annotation, evaluation and applications of spatial grounding (2007, background): “• Better event detection/tracking and clustering (Allan (2002)): if events are predications that hold in a space over a period of time, the reliable spatial grounding of an event should provide us with a solid basis for identifying events, helping not only to detect identical events, but also to ord”
Streaming First Story Detection with application to Twitter (2010, background): “New event detection, also known as first story detection (FSD)(1) is defined within the topic detection and tracking as one of the subtasks (Allan, 2002).”
Retrieval and novelty detection at the sentence level (2003, background): “A significant body of related work arises from the Topic Detection and Tracking (TDT) research and evaluation project, which is concerned with online event detection and tracking in news stories [1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 13].”
TextFlow: Towards Better Understanding of Evolving Topics in Text (2011, background): “Topic detection and tracking [1] [33] aims to automatically detect new topics and find new stories on already known topics in temporallyordered news streams.”
