Title Integrating Social Media into a Pan-European Flood Awareness System: A Multilingual Approach 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, Disaster Risk Management, Flood Risk
Abstract This paper describes a prototype system that integrates social media analysis into the European Flood Awareness

System (EFAS). This integration allows the collection of social media data to be automatically triggered by flood

risk warnings determined by a hydro-meteorological model. Then, we adopt a multi-lingual approach to find

flood-related messages by employing two state-of-the-art methodologies: language-agnostic word embeddings

and language-aligned word embeddings. Both approaches can be used to bootstrap a classifier of social media

messages for a new language with little or no labeled data. Finally, we describe a method for selecting relevant and

representative messages and displaying them back in the interface of EFAS.
