Estimating Deflation Representing People Spreading in Stream Data

Abstract

With the expanded use of social media such as Twitter in recent years, it has become easy to add various information such as location data using mobile devices. Using those data, one can observe the real world without using physical sensors. Therefore, social media have high operational value as social sensors. As described herein, we aim to support decision-making for people who intend to visit a specific place at which an event or some trouble recently occurred. After proposing a method of real-time extraction of data reflecting a burst state showing people's concentration, their inactivity, and continuous flow and dispersion, we confirm the method's effectiveness.
