Editor's Notes
Social media sites host a variety of event information We use the traditional event definition from the event detection literature, stating that an event is…, In particular, we consider events that range from …
Our goal is to… This could facilitate application such as… as can be seen in this image, similar to news aggregation sites but for events, including a variety of rich media content Our approach for even identification uses clustering to group similar event documents, such that…
Social media data quality is uneven When developing our approach, we had to consider the scalability of our algorithms as there exists a vast amount of social media event data on the web
Define and motivate the event identification task…
We have different notions of similarity for different types of features… We have to come up with a principled way to combine these different notions into a single similarity
We can cluster out document collection according to the variety of feature reps. discussed, each would have its own
