In we media platform such as microblog, emergency has such characteristics as suddenness and having multiple bursting points. Thus, it brings difficulty to emergency detection. Thus, this paper proposed a method of bursty events detection based on sentiment filter. Firstly, the topic was mapped as a hierarchical model according to the method. Then, dynamic adjustment of the model characteristics was made in a timing-driven way so as to detect the new topics of the information. Based on it, the method analyzed the user's emotional attitude toward such topics. The topics were divided into positive and negative emotion tendencies according to the user's emotional attitude.
