dc.description.abstractThe report included in this submission documents the work by the Collection Management Tweets (CMT) team, which is a part of the bigger effort in CS5604 on building a state-of-the-art information retrieval and analysis system for the IDEAL (Integrated Digital Event Archiving and Library) and GETAR (Global Event and Trend Archive Research) projects. The mission of the CMT team had two parts: 1) Cleaning 6.2 million tweets from two 2017 event collections named "Solar Eclipse" and "Las Vegas Shooting", and loading them into HBase, an open source, non-relational, distributed database that runs on the Hadoop distributed file system, in support of further use; and 2) Building and storing a social network for the tweet data using a triple-store. For the first part, our work included: A) Making use of the work done by the previous year's class group, where incremental update was done, to introduce a faster development process of data collection and storing; B) Improving the performance of work done by the group from last year. Previously, the cleaning part, e.g., removing profanity words, plus extracting hashtags and mentions, utilized Python. This becomes very slow when the dataset scales up. We introduced parallelization in our tweet cleaning process with the help of Scala and the Hadoop cluster, and made use of different Natural Language Processing libraries for stop word and profanity removal; C) Along with tweet cleaning we also identified and stored Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) entries and Part-of-speech (POS) tags, with the tweets which was not done by the previous team. The cleaned data in HBase from this task is provided to the Classification team for spam detection and to the Clustering and Topic Analysis team for topic analysis. Collection Management Webpage team uses the extracted URLs from the tweets for further processing. Finally, after the data is indexed by the SOLR team, the Front-End team visualizes the tweets to users, and provides access for searching and browsing. In addition to the aforementioned tasks, our responsibilities also included building a network of tweets. This entailed doing research into the types of database that are appropriate for this graph. For storing the network, we used a triple-store database to record different types of edges and relationships in the graph. We also researched methods ascribing importance to nodes and edges in our social networks once they were constructed, and analyzed our networks using these techniques.en
