Disaster Tweets Classification using BERT-Based Language Model
arXiv:2202.00795
Abstract
Social networking services have became an important communication channel in time of emergency. The aim of this study is to create a machine learning language model that is able to investigate if a person or area was in danger or not. The ubiquitousness of smartphones enables people to announce an emergency they are observing in real-time. Because of this, more agencies are interested in programmatically monitoring Twitter (i.e. disaster relief organizations and news agencies). Design a language model that is able to understand and acknowledge when a disaster is happening based on the social network posts will become more and more necessary over time.
