A behavior analytics approach to identifying tweets from crisis regions
2014
Proceedings of the 25th ACM conference on Hypertext and social media - HT '14
Due to the sheer volume of information generated during a disaster, a key challenge is to filter tweets from the crisis region so their analysis can be prioritized. ...
In this paper, we introduce the task of identifying whether a tweet is generated from crisis regions and formulate it as a decision problem. ...
