Glossary

Querying social networks:

Submitting requests of information to social networks’ API to retrieve posts about topics of interest

Spatiotemporal clustering of posts in social networks:

Unsupervised identification of groups of posts having similar geographic and temporal metadata retrieved from social networks

Events detection in social networks:

Identifying a consistent number of posts from social networks sent by close geographic locations and in close time intervals describing something known or unpredicted that happened in a specific place and in a specific time interval

Definition

Social network querying means submitting requests for information to a social network API in order to retrieve posts satisfying some user needs expressed in the query.

Geotemporal summarizationof the retrieved posts is aimed at...
