The invention is directed generally to providing methods and systems for trend extraction and analysis. Embodiments include methods and systems for trend extraction and analysis of information extracted from dynamically changing data included in computer systems and/or networks. Various exemplary embodiments are provided that may generate characteristic indicators for trend(s) and/or distribution(s) for one or more data sources by use of, for example, temporal indicators derived through analysis of the difference in contribution separate portions of the data to the whole data set being considered, contribution of individual sources, and/or the interaction of the separate portions of the data with one another. Some exemplary approaches may include the use of singular value decomposition (SVD) and higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) data extraction and analysis techniques. One use of these techniques is in the analysis of the dynamic data contained in Weblogs and the blogosphere.
