Monitoring of events in social networks for data collection, information analysis and temporal synchronization

Abstract

To collect social media footprints about an event, the usual gathering technique consists on a series of keywords, and this approach invariably is not able to collect all items that are actually connected to the event. In order to minimize this drawback, we propose herein the design and development of a data collection technique leveraged by query expansion for social media items. The objective is to augment the set of social media items related to the event.
