Socioscope: Spatio-Temporal Signal Recovery from Social Media (Extended Abstract)

چکیده
Counting the number of social media posts on a target phenomenon has become a popular method to monitor a spatiotemporal signal. However, such counting is plagued by biased, missing, or scarce data. We address these issues by formulating signal recovery as a Poisson point process estimation problem. We explicitly incorporate human population bias, time delays and spatial distortions, and spatiotemporal regularization into the model to address the data quality issues. Our model produces qualitatively convincing results in a case study on wildlife roadkill monitoring.

Socioscope: Spatio-temporal Signal Recovery from Social Media
Many real-world phenomena can be represented by a spatiotemporal signal: where, when, and how much. Social media is a tantalizing data source for those who wish to monitor such signals. Unlike most prior work, we assume that the target phenomenon is known and we are given a method to count its occurrences in social media. However, counting is plagued by sample bias, incomplete data, and, parado...

A Noise-Filtering Approach for Spatio-temporal Event Detection in Social Media
We propose an iterative spatial-temporal mining algorithm for identifying and extracting events from social media. One of the key aspects of the proposed algorithm is a signal processing-inspired approach for viewing spatial-temporal term occurrences as signals, analyzing the noise contained in the signals, and applying noise filters to improve the quality of event extraction from these signals...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal Notions and Organized Environmental Issues: An Axiology of Action
The aim of this paper is to bring together temporal and spatial notions into a different set of axiologic pairs, and to trace examples in which such a set of pairs might be illuminating in accounts of how environmental issues are perceived in various social science disciplines. The paper begins with a division of time into reified clock time (chronos) and timely kairos time, together with a spa...
