Abstract:
1. A computer based system for predicting the value of a topic, said system comprising: a processor configured to execute machine instructions on a set of data; the machine instructions including: a means for transforming the set of data to create a topic profile of at least one topic over a dimension wherein the dimension is time, and the topic profile comprising a plurality of topic profile values of the at least one topic over a plurality of time values of the dimension; a means for predicting a predicted topic value of the at least one topic at a predicted dimension value of the dimension wherein the predicted dimension value is a future time; and wherein the means for predicting the predicted topic value further comprises: identifying a base dimension value having a base topic profile, the topic profile comprises a plurality of topics having at least one topic value, identifying the predicted dimension value having a difference dimension value from the base dimension value, analyzing the topic profile over at least one dimension value to identify a most similar topic profile to the base topic profile, the dimension value at the most similar topic profile being a selected dimension value, and selecting one of the at least one topic value from the topic profile at a difference dimension value from the selected dimension value as the predicted topic value at the predicted dimension value.
