Twitinfo: aggregating and visualizing microblogs for event exploration
TL;DR: TwitInfo allows users to browse a large collection of tweets using a timeline-based display that highlights peaks of high tweet activity, and can identify 80-100% of manually labeled peaks, facilitating a relatively complete view of each event studied.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Tweets as data: demonstration of TweeQL and Twitinfo
TL;DR: This work introduces TweeQL, a stream query processing language that presents a SQL-like query interface for unstructured tweets to generate structured data for downstream applications and builds several tools on top of Tweeql, most notably TwitInfo, an event timeline generation and exploration interface that summarizes events as they are discussed on Twitter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processing and visualizing the data in tweets
TL;DR: The first, TweeQL, provides a streaming SQL-like interface to the Twitter API, making common tweet processing tasks simpler, and the second, TwitInfo, shows how end-users can interact with and understand aggregated data from the tweet stream, in addition to showcasing the power of theTweeQL language.

Geoffrey Warner,Sanith Wijesinghe,Uma Marques,Osama Badar,Jacob Rosen,Erik Hemberg,Una-May O'Reilly +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a prototype evolutionary algorithm designed to generate potential schemes of the inflated basis type described above, taking as inputs a collection of asset types and tax entities, together with a rule set governing asset exchanges between these entities.
Processing and visualizing the data in tweets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present two systems for querying and extracting structure from Twitter-embedded data, TweeQL and TwitInfo, which is a streaming SQL-like interface to the Twitter API, making common tweet processing tasks simpler.
