1. A device, comprising: one or more memories; and one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, to: obtain text to be processed to identify a trend associated with a topic included in the text, the text including a plurality of text sections associated with the topic, the plurality of text sections being associated with a plurality of temporal intervals; prepare the text for processing, the text being prepared by standardizing the text for processing; determine a respective context for the topic in each of the plurality of text sections; calculate a first specificity score, associated with the topic for a first temporal interval, based on the respective context for the topic for one or more text sections, of the plurality of text sections, associated with the first temporal interval, the first specificity score indicating a degree to which text sections associated with the topic include specific information not included in other text sections; calculate a second specificity score, associated with the topic for a second temporal interval, based on the respective context for the topic for one or more text sections, of the plurality of text sections, associated with the second temporal interval, the plurality of temporal intervals including the first temporal interval and the second temporal interval; calculate a first trend score that represents a difference between the first specificity score and the second specificity score; calculate a second trend score, the second trend score being associated with another topic; compare the first trend score and the second trend score; automatically identify the trend associated with the topic based on the first specificity score and the second specificity score thereby increasing speed and accuracy of identifying the trend; and provide information that identifies the trend associated with the topic to permit an action to be taken based on the trend, the information being provided based on a result of comparing the first trend score and the second trend score.
