Fusing Text and Image for Event Detection in Twitter (1503.03920v1)

Published 13 Mar 2015 in cs.IR and cs.MM

Abstract: In this contribution, we develop an accurate and effective event detection method to detect events from a Twitter stream, which uses visual and textual information to improve the performance of the mining process. The method monitors a Twitter stream to pick up tweets having texts and images and stores them into a database. This is followed by applying a mining algorithm to detect an event. The procedure starts with detecting events based on text only by using the feature of the bag-of-words which is calculated using the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) method. Then it detects the event based on image only by using visual features including histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) descriptors, grey-level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM), and color histogram. K nearest neighbours (Knn) classification is used in the detection. The final decision of the event detection is made based on the reliabilities of text only detection and image only detection. The experiment result showed that the proposed method achieved high accuracy of 0.94, comparing with 0.89 with texts only, and 0.86 with images only.
