Luis Gravano Awarded NSF Grant for Detection and Presentation of Event Content in Social Media
Social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr host an ever-increasing amount of user content captured or produced in association with real-world events, from presidential inaugurations to community-specific events. Unfortunately, the existing tools to find, organize, and present the social media content associated with events are extremely limited. This project will develop critical end-to-end information processing and presentation methods that will transform public access to real-world event information from social media sources. More information can be found at http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=1017389.
