period when most community harms occurs (DCS, 2011). Casualty increases due to slow response time from relief organisations as they lack verifiable information (Meier, 2012). The Department of Community Safety (DCS) of Queensland Government, for example, in its 2011 report entitled All Hazards Information Management Program have identified reducing response time during disaster event a priority in order to reduce community harm (DCS, 2011) (Image 2 below).
Image 2: Enhancing disaster response system from current to future (DCS, 2011). Prior research suggests that by using crowd-sourced information from various sources including social networks, it is potentially possible to shorten the time it takes to find information that allows faster response time (Platt, Hood, & Citrin, 2011). In recent disasters people from all over the world used social network sites to update their situation and seek help. This made Social Media streams an extremely powerful information source during crisis events (Muralidharan, Rasmussen, Patterson, & Shin, 2011). Two social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter, were most popular among the social network sites during these acute events. However, prior research suggests that due to their walled- garden approach, Facebook is less accessible than twitter for public communication (Bruns, 2012). As Twitter updates are visible even to a non-registered user and Twitter allows a user to follow another user without the need to know the person, a person can follow a crisis authority quickly during disaster time to receive real time updates. This enables Twitter to draw on and also become information source at the same time. For this reason Twitter is the social network of choice for this research.
Extracting meaningful information from Social Network streams for Crisis Mapping Avijit Paul n8459941 PhD - Stage 2 Proposal - avijit.paul@student.qut.edu.au
However,
as
updates
in
Twitter
happen
extremely
quickly,
keeping
track
of
all
the
updates
to
extract
useful
information
is
a
daunting
task.
Additionally,
during
a
crisis
different
authorities
require
different
information
to
act
on.
Selecting
relevant
information
set
for
related
authority
is
a
challenge
faced
while
harnessing
power
of
social
media
(DCS,
2011).
According
to
CCI
Floods
report
by
Bruns,
Burgess,
Crawford
&
Shaw
(2012)
tweets
during
crisis
can
be
categorised
in
five
major
categories;
information,
Media
Sharing,
Help
and
Fundraising,
Direct
Experience
and
Discussion
and
Reaction.
Extracting
and
presenting
in
such
groups
can
provide
authorities
with
actionable
information.
However,
not
all
tweets
can
be
grouped
distinctively
and
therefore
challenge
remains
in
identifying
tweets
in
real-time
that
do
not
clearly
fall
into
a
certain
group.
Additionally,
a
large
body
of
present
Twitter
research
uses
certain
methods
such
as
hashtags
to
identify
messages
related
to
a
specific
natural
disaster
and
find
meaningful
information
out
of
that
(Bruns,
Burgess,
Crawford,
&
Shaw,
2012).
However,
this
method
of
tracking
via
pre-defined
keywords
has
its
limitations.
As
most
natural
disasters
are
unpredictable
events,
it
is
difficult
to
guess
which
keywords
will
become
popular
and
noteworthy
in
order
to
be
selected
for
tracking.
Additionally,
when
a
crisis
happens,
users
may
introduce
new
keywords
or
hashtags,
which
may
take
time
to
become
noteworthy
or
may
be
abandoned
again
as
other,
similar
keywords
gain
importance
(Bruns
&
Liang,
2012).
On
top
of
that,
there
are
plenty
of
rumours
and
false
information
in
twitter
(Gayo-Avello,
2012)
that
makes
information
credibility
one
of
the
biggest
issue
of
twitter
(Castillo,
Mendoza,
&
Poblete,
2011),
(Gupta,
Zhao,
&
Han,
2012).
Not
all
messages
that
appear
in
tweet
stream
are
authentic
in
nature.
As
a
result,
rumour
and
fake
information
during
disasters
often
creates
unnecessary
situations
(Mendoza,
Poblete,
&
Castillo,
2010)
and
contributes
significantly
in
the
irrelevant
information
or
noise,
which
needs
to
be
eliminated
in
order
to
find
information
that
is
useful.
Therefore
finding
information
from
their
early
ripples
and
grouping
them
together
before
they
become
prominent
is
one
of
the
key
areas
of
this
research.
Furthermore,
as
crisis
continues,
status
and
condition
of
a
crisis
situation
gets
updated
and
may
make
the
information
irrelevant.
At
present
most
of
the
crowdsourced
crisis
information
visualisation
uses
some
form
of
maps
to
display
information
(Elwood,
2011).
However
map
data
often
do
not
portray
this
temporal
aspect
of
data
visualisation.
As
presenting
chronological
information
of
disaster
is
crucial
for
informed
decision
making
at
times
of
disaster,
this
is
another
key
area
of
this
research.

Therefore the primary aim of this research is to formulate new research perspectives and
methods to extract and present relevant information from on going social media updates during natural disasters. By building a theoretical framework and an online system, this project will harvest social media conversation streams to help make life saving decisions.

multi-channel communication processes and options to be readily accessible to the news media during crisis situations (Large, 2012), a thorough understanding and testing of Crisis Communication theories can help to create necessary framework that can be used to analyse social network data sets in real time.
Twitter
Analytics
These
two
way
communications
multiplied
by
thousands
of
people
creates
a
firehose
of
information
(Wu,
Hofman,
Mason,
&
Watts,
2011).
The
Twitter
firehose
consists
of
the
entire
tweet
stream
at
any
given
time
(Dong
et
al.,
2010).
Since
the
number
of
updates
can
be
extremely
quick
and
massive
(more
than
5,000
tweets
per
second
in
twitter
alone
during
Japan
Tsunami
(Empson,
2012))
microsyntex
format
such
as
usage
hashtags
are
particularly
useful
to
bring
a
particular
topic
in
the
forefront
of
an
ongoing
conversation
(Stamberger,
2010).
However,
the
contributing
factors
that
establishes
a
keyword
as
hashtag
is
still
not
well
researched
(Cullum,
2010).
In
fact,
there
is
limited
research
on
extracting
useful
information
from
the
firehose.
Furthermore,
identifying
keywords
or
hashtags
alone
is
not
enough
as
various
other
metrics
such
as
widely
shared
links,
influential
users,
retweets
can
have
significant
importance
and
are
important
items
to
extract
and
analyse
(Boyd,
Golder,
&
Lotan,
2010)
.
At
present
the
most
common
twitter
analytics
is
done
via
tracking
keywords
and
hashtags
(Bruns
&
Liang,
2012).
Other
analytics
involve
locating
and
profiling
user
id
(twitter
handles)
(Yugami,
Igata,
Anai,
&
Inakoshi,
2012),
geo
tagging
(Lee,
Wakamiya,
&
Sumiya,
2011),
URL
and
linkage
data
(Aggarwal,
2011)
etc.
Twitter
analytics
has
been
used
to
track
academic
citation
prediction
(Eysenbach,
2011),
temporal
patterns
of
happiness
(Dodds,
Harris,
Kloumann,
Bliss,
&
Danforth,
2011)
and
finding
meaningful
expression
of
engagement
(Huston,
Weiss,
&
Benyoucef,
2011).
Most,
if
not
all
Twitter
analytics
however
are
post-hoc
and
the
data
is
archived
first
and
analysed
later.
In
the
early
stage
of
this
research
I
will
use
the
most
appropriate
method
among
the
methods
available
to
simulate
and
test
my
hypothesis
and
will
develop
a
new
method
for
real
time
testing
in
the
last
phase
of
the
research.
This
presents
the
first
research
gaps
on
extracting
meaningful
and
useful
information
from
an
on-going
social
media
updates
during
crisis.
Contextual
Analysis
Even
though
real
time
data
processing
can
be
used
to
extract
data
(Vlachos,
2011),
it
does
not
have
the
ability
to
identify
meaning
out
of
a
given
context.
In
order
to
understand
meaning,
it
needs
to
learn
the
rules
and
patterns
(Valero,
Gmez,
&
Pineda,
2009).
Different
methods
such
as

dictionary-based, rule based, hybrid have been proposed for such pattern or named entity recognition activity (Song, Tjondronegoro, & Docherty, 2012), (Dhling & Leser, 2011). However, limited research has been conducted in conjunction with disaster response, contextual and sentiment analysis and named entity recognition (Park, Cha, Kim, & Jeong, 2012), (De Fortuny, De Smedt, Martens, & Daelemans, 2012). Thus, in order to be usable in picking early disaster signals, contextual analysis can be used to find the meaning of a word in context (Maxwell, Raue, Azzopardi, Johnson, & Oates, 2012). Therefore, by mining subjective expression or opinion, it will be able to differentiate between similar words used in different context avoid creating false alarm while grouping extracted data from a social media stream (Liu, 2010).
Computational
Linguistic
In
recent
years
there
has
been
a
growing
interest
in
using
Computational
Linguistics
with
Twitter
during
a
crisis
(Corvey,
Vieweg,
Rood,
&
Palmer,
2010)
mostly
to
identify
trending
keywords
(Sakaki,
Toriumi,
&
Matsuo,
2011).
It
has
also
been
used
to
problems
with
products
and
service
with
Twitter
data
(N.
K.
Gupta,
2011).
As
this
research
requires
extensive
analysis
of
text
data
in
order
to
understand
uses
of
words
in
context,
methods
of
computational
linguistic
in
emergency
will
be
studied
in
order
to
isolate
noise
data
from
useful
data.
Information
Design
Traditionally
maps
have
been
used
to
represent
crisis
related
data
in
order
to
identify
priority
areas
(Tufte,
2001).
However,
as
the
information
changes
rapidly
in
social
networks,
presenting
crisis
information
gathered
from
Social
Networks
via
map
may
not
be
the
best
way.
Furthermore,
most
of
the
available
crisis
presentation
system
requires
extensive
manual
entry
and
monitoring
into
a
system
that
projects
the
data
in
a
crisis
map
(Meier,
2012).
Although
this
has
proven
useful,
it
is
often
time
and
resource
consuming.
Since
every
minute
is
important
when
saving
lives
after
a
natural
disaster,
alternative
information
design
and
presentation
techniques
such
as
fractal
maps,
heat
maps
or
other
non-map
based
visualisation
techniques
will
be
explored.
As
there
has
been
limited
research
done
on
presenting
data
generated
from
such
massive
datasets
during
disaster,
one
of
the
major
challenge
for
this
research
is
to
present
real
time
information
extracted
from
social
network
stream
in
a
meaningful
manner.

Visual
Analytics
As
the
amount
of
data
driven
documents
and
services
increases
rapidly,
visual
analytics
is
gaining
more
and
more
momentum
in
recent
years
(Bostock,
Ogievetsky,
&
Heer,
2011).
Collaborating
and
Social
visualisation
techniques
have
also
gained
popularity
to
visualise
crowd-sourced
data
(Heer
&
Agrawala,
2008),
(Keim
et
al.,
2008).
These
visual
analytic
methods
and
processed
will
be
studied
to
find
how
it
can
be
used
to
best
present
the
data
in
order
to
present
it
quickly
and
effectively
in
a
crisis
situation.
Early
Detection
Prior
research
suggested
use
of
social
media
to
predict
health
disasters
such
as
H1N1
using
traditional
and
social
media
(Liu
&
Kim,
2011).
It
has
also
been
used
to
suggest
low-level
prediction
of
natural
disasters
(Li,
Wang,
&
Liu,
2011).
However,
once
data
is
gathered,
due
to
vast
differences
in
the
information
generated,
it
remains
quite
difficult
to
analyse
them
in
real
time.
On
top
of
that,
there
is
no
established
methodology
to
identify
the
time
taken
before
a
certain
term
becomes
a
trending
topic:
there
is
a
methodological
gap
when
it
comes
to
identifying
weak
signals
surfacing
through
social
media
streams
before
they
become
widely
visible,
in
order
to
understand
which
keywords
are
likely
to
be
important.
Limited
research
has
been
conducted
to
identify
links
between
social
media
updates
and
natural
disaster
prediction.
Therefore
the
third
area
of
interest
is
to
probabilistically
identify
relationship
between
social
media
updates
and
potential
natural
disaster.
Central
Research
Problem:
How
to
extract
and
present
useful
information
from
Social
Media
stream
during
crisis
time?
As
updates
happen
extremely
quickly
in
social
networks,
especially
during
crisis
time,
one
of
the
most
important
parts
is
to
extract
information
that
is
useful.
Even
though
it
is
possible
to
read
through
real
time
social
network
data,
the
problem
remains
trying
to
extract
information
that
is
useful
and
usable
in
close
to
real-time.
Additionally,
quality
of
information
degrades
over
time
and
current
presentation
techniques
pose
certain
limitations
in
getting
up
to
date
information
quickly.

Thus, the central challenge of this thesis is to extract useful information from Social Media and present it with as little delay as possible.
Sub
Problem
2:
How
to
capture
selected
data
from
Social
Media
Stream?
The
second
problem
is
to
capture
data
from
the
social
media
stream
during
a
crisis.
At
present
there
are
various
methods
available
and
deployed
such
as
twapperkeeper.
However,
most
of
the
available
capture
methods
looks
for
a
pre
determined
keyword
or
Hashtag
or
pre-identified
user.
As
this
research
is
looking
for
information
from
a
full
firehose
tweet
stream,
new
methods
such
as
Hadoop,
Twitter
stom
and
so
on
will
be
used
to
capture
the
Social
Media
Stream.
Since
there
are
various
methods
available
with
their
own
strength
and
weakness,
finding
the
right
way
to
capture
will
be
the
second
issue
to
solve.
Sub
Problem
3:
How
to
extract
and
analyse
captured
data
in
real
time
to
find
useful
information
Once
the
method
for
capturing
information
is
identified,
the
next
challenge
is
to
analyse
it
and
segregate
noise
from
the
information.
The
hypothesis
developed
at
Sub-problem
1
will
be
applied
to
data
collected
at
Sub-problem
2
at
this
stage.
The
challenge
will
be
to
identify
how
to
separate
filter
information
from
the
data
source
by
applying
twitter
analytics,
sentiment
analysis,
computational
linguistic
or
any
other
methods
necessary
in
real
time
to
a
live
twitter
data
stream.

file system may vary if a new and improved version is released. This task will be done in between stage 2 submission and confirmation seminar. In the end this will result in a system that can capture twitter data from the twitter firehose in real-time and will provide the basis for real-time analysis on the captured data stream. Third objective is to extract the useful information from this live twitter stream. This will be done using suitable twitter analytics methods available at that point of time. Additionally, to understand the meaning of the words used based on their context, in order to identify weak signals I will apply contextual analysis and other computational linguistic methods at this stage. At this stage the whole system will go through an iterative process of testing, evaluation and improvement to make it more effective. This step will use the hypothesis developed from the first phase (first objective) and data collected from the second phase (second objective) to initially test on archival data. Based on the result, the system will be sent for evaluation to the Queensland Governments Department of Community Safety (DCS) for assessment. Improvements will be carried out based on the feedback gathered. This whole process will be done during 2nd year of candidature. Fourth objective is to present the information in a way that is useful for the stakeholders. Various presentation techniques will be used to test the extracted information in order to see which presents the most benefit. Since using maps such as Google Map or other maps are the most traditional way of presenting the information, the data will first be placed using that mapping technique. However as maps have their own limitations in dealing with temporal data in chronological order, other techniques for information design will be tested at this stage based on the extracted information. This whole process will be an iterative process with seeking feedback from DCS as there are number of ways the data can be presented and sampled.
