Abstract

Social media, e.g.,Twitter, have provided us an unprecedented opportunity to observe events un-folding in real-time. The rapid pace at which situations play out on social media necessitates new tools for capturing and summarizing the spatio-temporal progression of events. This technical report describes methods for generating dynamic real-world storylines from Twitter Sources and shares the results of related experiments.
