Abstract

We propose a system for detecting local events in the real-world using geolocation information from microblog documents. A local event happens when people with a common purpose gather at the same time and place. To detect such an event, we identify a group of Twitter documents describing the same theme that were generated within a short time and a small geographic area. Timestamps and geotags are useful for finding such documents, but only 0.7% of documents are geotagged and not sufficient for this purpose. Therefore, we propose an automatic geotagging method that identifies the location of non-geotagged documents. Our geotagging method successfully increased the number of geographic groups by about 115 times. For each group of documents, we extract co-occurring terms to identify its theme and determine whether it is about an event. We subjectively evaluated the precision of our detected local events and found that it had 25.5% accuracy. These results demonstrate that our system can detect local events that are difficult to identify using existing event detection methods. A user can interactively specify the size of a desired event by manipulating the parameters of date, area size, and the minimum number of Twitter users associated with the location. Our system allows users to enjoy the novel experience of finding a local event happening near their current location in real time.
Jasmine:基于地理位置信息传播到微博的实时本地事件检测系统
我们提出了一种利用微博文档中的地理位置信息来检测现实世界中的本地事件的系统。当有共同目标的人们聚集在同一时间和地点时,就会发生当地事件。为了检测这样的事件,我们确定了一组Twitter文档,这些文档描述了在短时间内和小地理区域内生成的相同主题。时间戳和地理标记对于查找此类文档很有用,但是只有0.7%的文档进行了地理标记,不足以满足此目的。因此,我们提出了一种自动地理标记方法来识别非地理标记文档的位置。我们的地理标记方法成功地将地理组的数量增加了约115倍。对于每组文档,我们提取共同出现的术语以确定其主题并确定它是否与事件有关。我们主观地评估了我们检测到的本地事件的精度,发现它的准确率为25.5%。这些结果表明,我们的系统可以检测到现有事件检测方法难以识别的本地事件。用户可以通过操作日期、区域大小和与该位置关联的Twitter用户的最小数量等参数,交互式地指定所需事件的大小。我们的系统允许用户享受在他们当前位置附近实时发现当地事件的新奇体验。
