ECIR 2017 Workshop on Exploitation of Social Media for Emergency Relief and Preparedness (SMERP 2017)

Published: 02 August 2017 Publication History

Abstract

The first international workshop on Exploitation of Social Media for Emergency Relief and Preparedness (SMERP) was held in conjunction with the 2017 European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR) in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. The aim of the workshop was to explore various technologies for extracting useful information from social media content in disaster situations. The workshop included a peer-reviewed research paper track, a data challenge, two keynote talks, and discussion sessions on the relevant open research challenges. This report presents an overview of the workshop, including the motivations behind organizing the workshop, and summaries of the research papers and keynote talks at the workshop. We also reflect on the future directions as inferred from discussion sessions during the workshop
