goal
effectively retrieve social media content
for known events from multiple services




[with Hila Becker, Luis Gravano]
E
E



challenges
event descriptor not well-formed

brief textual descriptors

noise

formats/conventions/metadata differ
E



approach
two-step query formulation
  precision-based
  recall-based

validate queries based on known/
extracted event model
E
                                 E


step 1
term extraction from event descriptors
generates “high precision” queries


e. g. “andrew bird, opening gala,
celebrate brooklyn, prospect park”
E
                                  E


step 2
use “high precision” corpus to generate
more general queries to improve recall


e. g. “andrew bird concert”, “state farm
insurance”
E
                                     E


recall-oriented queries
Benefits:
- Works cross-site
- Works with short content

Challenges:
- Introduces noise
- Potentially large set of queries
E
                                     E


post-filtering
use known event model (topics, time,
location)

use queries with a result set that
matches known model
E
                                                                    E

takeaways
can aggregate content fragmented
across platforms

improve recall, not rely on site-specific
features

research questions
can Twitter content around broadcast
news events inform journalistic inquiry?

what insights and analyses can we
enable through visual analytic tools?

[with postdoctoral fellow Nick Diakopoulos]
supporting analysis
direct attention to relevant information
automatic content analysis for filtering
   – relevance
   – uniqueness / novelty
   – sentiment
   – keyword extraction
ECIR 2013 Keynote - Time for Events
how to evaluate?
directly evaluate the output of the
algorithms (quantitative)
deep, extensive evaluation of users’
interaction with the system (qualitative)

Vox evaluation goals
•  How effective for generating story ideas?
•  What kind of insights/analysis are
   supported?
•  Shortcomings and how features are
   used?
