Are We Ready for this Disaster? Towards Location Mention Recognition from Crisis Tweets (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Despite the widespread use of Twitter during emergencies, the majority of tweets do not have geoinformation. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Twitter to train location mention recognition models using different training settings. |
| Outcome: | The results show that training on near or far-away events boosts the performance compared to training on distant events. |
