Extracting localized information from a Twitter corpus for flood prevention

Information Retrieval 2019-05-13 v2 Social and Information Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the collection of a corpus associated to tropical storm Harvey, as well as its analysis from both spatial and topical perspectives. From the spatial perspective, our goal here is to get a first estimation of the quality and precision of the geographical information featured in the collected corpus. From a topical perspective, we discuss the representation of Twitter posts, and strategies to process an initially unlabeled corpus of tweets.
