Social media is an invaluable source of time-critical information
during a crisis. However, emergency response and humanitarian
relief organizations that would like to use this information
struggle with an avalanche of social media messages that exceeds
the human capacity to process. Emergency managers, decision makers,
and affected communities can make sense of social media through a
combination of machine computation and human compassion - expressed
by thousands of digital volunteers who publish, process, and
summarize potentially life-saving information. This book brings
together computational methods from many disciplines: natural
language processing, semantic technologies, data mining, machine
learning, network analysis, human-computer interaction, and
information visualization, focusing on methods that are commonly
used for processing social media messages under time-critical
constraints, and offering more than 500 references to in-depth
information.
