TLDR
An earthquake reporting system for use in Japan is developed and an algorithm to monitor tweets and to detect a target event is proposed, which produces a probabilistic spatiotemporal model for the target event that can find the center of the event location.Abstract:
Twitter has received much attention recently. An important characteristic of Twitter is its real-time nature. We investigate the real-time interaction of events such as earthquakes in Twitter and propose an algorithm to monitor tweets and to detect a target event. To detect a target event, we devise a classifier of tweets based on features such as the keywords in a tweet, the number of words, and their context. Subsequently, we produce a probabilistic spatiotemporal model for the target event that can find the center of the event location. We regard each Twitter user as a sensor and apply particle filtering, which are widely used for location estimation. The particle filter works better than other comparable methods for estimating the locations of target events. As an application, we develop an earthquake reporting system for use in Japan. Because of the numerous earthquakes and the large number of Twitter users throughout the country, we can detect an earthquake with high probability (93 percent of earthquakes of Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) seismic intensity scale 3 or more are detected) merely by monitoring tweets. Our system detects earthquakes promptly and notification is delivered much faster than JMA broadcast announcements.read more

Evolving Gaussian on-line clustering in social network analysis
TL;DR: In this paper , an evolving data-based approach to automatically cluster Twitter users according to their behavior is presented. But the most important feature of the evolving method is that it can process data from thousands of Twitter profiles in real time, which can be characterized as a Big Data problem.

What is Twitter, a social network or a news media?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have crawled the entire Twittersphere and found a non-power-law follower distribution, a short effective diameter, and low reciprocity, which all mark a deviation from known characteristics of human social networks.
