  Title Sympathy Detection in Disaster Twitter Data Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Word Embedding, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Sympathy Tweets Detection  
  Abstract Nowadays, micro-blogging sites such as Twitter have become powerful tools for communicating with others in

various situations. Especially in disaster events, these sites can be the best platforms for seeking or providing social

support, of which informational support and emotional support are the most important types. Sympathy, a sub-type

of emotional support, is an expression of one?s compassion or sorrow for a difficult situation that another person

is facing. Providing sympathy to people affected by a disaster can help change people?s emotional states from

negative to positive emotions, and hence, help them feel better. Moreover, detecting sympathy contents in Twitter

can potentially be used for finding candidate donors since the emotion ?sympathy? is closely related to people who

may be willing to donate. Thus, in this paper, as a starting point, we focus on detecting sympathy-related tweets.

We address this task using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with refined word embeddings. Specifically, we

propose a refined word embedding technique in terms of various pre-trained word vector models and show great

performance of CNNs that use these refined embeddings in the sympathy tweet classification task. We also report

experimental results showing that the CNNs with the refined word embeddings outperform not only traditional

machine learning techniques, such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines and AdaBoost with conventional

feature sets as bags of words, but also Long Short-Term Memory Networks.

  Title Detecting Disaster Recovery Activities via Social Media Communication Topics Type Conference Article
  Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Social Media, Topic modeling, Socio-economic recovery, Used-car demand, Housing demand.  
  Abstract Enhancing situational awareness by mining social media has been widely studied, but little work has been done

focusing on recovery phases. To provide evidence to support the possibility of harnessing social media as a sensor

of recovery activities, we examine the correlations between topic frequencies on Twitter and people?s socioeconomic

recovery activities as reflected in the excess demand for used cars and housing, after the Great East

Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011. Our research suggests that people in the disaster-stricken area

communicated more about recovery and disaster damages when they needed to purchase used cars, while the nonlocal

population communicated more about going to and supporting the disaster-stricken area. On the other hand,

regarding the excess demand for housing, when the local population of the disaster-stricken area started to resettle,

they communicated their opinions more than in other periods about disaster-related situations.
