The BlogoCenter project is a collaborative effort (0534784, Junghoo 'John' Cho, University of California-Los Angeles and 0534323, Dragomir Radev, University of Michigan Ann Arbor) with a goal to develop innovative technologies for building a system that (1) continuously monitors, collects, and stores personal Weblogs (or blogs) at a central location; (2) discovers hidden structures and trends automatically from the blogs; and (3) makes them easily accessible to general users. By making the new information on the blogs easy to discover and access, this project is helping blogs realize their full potential for societal change as the "grassroots media." It is also collecting an important hypertext dataset of human interactions for further analysis by the social and behavioral sciences research communities. In developing such a system, the project investigates new research challenges in three areas: (1) novel monitoring algorithms that discover and download new information from rapidly-changing distributed sources with minimal delay; (2) new text and graph mining techniques appropriate for large-scale hypertext corpora; and (3) novel text ranking and summarization algorithms to help the users access new and high-quality information quickly from the rapidly-evolving blogs. The project will make a significant impact to the scientific community by making the collected datasets and the source code of the prototype available to other research groups via the Web (http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~radev/blogocenter), accelerating progress in the blog-related research. The new research findings will be disseminated via scientific conferences and journals, spurring significant advancements in distributed Web-source monitoring, text summarization and ranking, and large-scale text and graph mining. In addition, this project will support graduate and undergraduate student research and foster cross-institution collaboration.

BlogeCenter项目是一项合作努力（0534784，Junghoo'John'Cho，加利福尼亚 - 洛杉矶大学和0534323，Dragomir Radev，Michigan Ann Arbor大学），其目标是开发用于构建系统的创新技术，该系统可以连续地监控​​（1），并将其收集和商店的位置（或Blogs and Offers Attors Atts Atts Ats Ats Ats Ats Ats Ats Ats Ats） （2）从博客中自动发现隐藏的结构和趋势； （3）使它们很容易被普通用户访问。通过使博客上的新信息易于发现和访问，该项目正在帮助博客意识到他们作为“基层媒体”的社会变革的全部潜力。它还收集了人类互动的重要超文本数据集，以通过社会和行为科学研究社区进行进一步分析。在开发这样的系统时，该项目在三个领域调查了新的研究挑战：（1）新颖的监测算法，这些算法从迅速变化的分布式来源发现并下载新信息，并以最小的延迟； （2）适用于大规模超文本语料库的新文本和图挖掘技术； （3）新颖的文本排名和摘要算法，以帮助用户从快速发展的博客中迅速访问新的和高质量的信息。该项目将通过将收集的数据集和其他研究小组的原型源代码和原型的源代码（http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~radeu/~radev/blogocenter）进行加速，对博客相关研究的进度加速。新的研究发现将通过科学会议和期刊传播，这激发了分布式网络源监控，文本摘要和排名以及大规模文本和图形挖掘方面的重大进步。此外，该项目将支持研究生和本科生研究以及促进跨机构合作。
