Temporal Modelling of Geospatial Words in Twitter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twitter text-based geotagging often uses geospatial words to determine locations. While much work has been done in word geospatiality analysis, there has been little work on temporal variations in the geospatial spread of word usage. In this paper, we investigate geospatial words relative to their temporal locality patterns by fitting periodical models over time. The model jointly captures inherent geospatial locality and periodical factor for a word. The resultant factorisation enables better understanding of word temporal trends and improves geotagging accuracy by only using inherent geospatial local words.

Comparative Visualization of Geospatial-temporal Data
The amount of online data annotated with geospatial and temporal metadata has grown rapidly in the recent years. Social networks like Flickr and Twitter are popular providers of masses of such data, but are hard to browse. Many systems exist that can show the data’s geospatial distribution in a map widget and their temporal distribution in a time widget, allowing these widgets to become dynamic...
متن کاملText-Based Twitter User Geolocation Prediction
Geographical location is vital to geospatial applications like local search and event detection. In this paper, we investigate and improve on the task of text-based geolocation prediction of Twitter users. Previous studies on this topic have typically assumed that geographical references (e.g., gazetteer terms, dialectal words) in a text are indicative of its author’s location. However, these r...

Proper management of epidemic diseases such as Covid-19 is very important because of its effects on the economy, culture and society of nations. By applying various control strategies such as closing schools, restricting night traffic and mass vaccination program, the spread of this disease has been somewhat controlled but not completely stopped. The main goal of this research is to provide a f...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Analysis of Topic Popularity in Twitter
We present the first comprehensive characterization of the diffusion of ideas on Twitter, studying more than 4000 topics that include both popular and less popular topics. On a data set containing approximately 10 million users and a comprehensive scraping of all the tweets posted by these users between June 2009 and August 2009 (approximately 200 million tweets), we perform a rigorous temporal...
متن کاملConsistency of Social Sensing Signatures Across Major US Cities
Previous studies have shown that Twitter users have biases to tweet from certain locations (locational bias) and during certain hours (temporal bias). We used three years of geo-located Twitter Data to quantify these biases and test our central hypothesis that Twitter users’ biases are consistent across US cities. Our results suggest that temporal and locational bias of Twitter users are incons...
