What makes the city pulse

Summary

This thesis addresses the problem of how to detect small scale unexpected events using UGC both in real-time and retrospectively and proposes a language-text joint modeling algorithm to cope with the large volume and unstructured nature of UGC.

Keywords

Social media, Event (particle physics), Computer science, Metropolitan area, Set (abstract data type)
