METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DATA MINING

The present teaching relates to method and system for generating a stream of content items. A plurality of entities associated with a time-window are obtained, wherein each entity of the plurality of entities is associated with at least one content item. For each entity, a first parameter with respect to the time-window, a second parameter with respect to previous time-windows, and a trendiness score based on a function of the first parameter and the second parameter are respectively calculated. A graph based on one or more entity-pairs is generated, wherein each entity-pair of the one or more entity-pairs satisfies a first criterion. A stream of content items is generated based on the graph, wherein each content item in the stream of content items corresponds to at least one of the one or more entity pairs.
