Extracting geo-references from social media text using bi-long short term memory networks

Abstract


The social media data provides great source of information about global and local events, with millions of users. More precisely, the fact that brief messages are practical and are highly popular. Many recent studies have been motivated to estimate the location of the events identified by tracking posts in social media text messages. It might be difficult to extract location data and estimate the location of an event while maintaining a sufficient level of situation awareness, particularly in disaster situations like fires or traffic accidents. In this presented work we proposed an approach to identify geo-references in the text messages. We used bi-directional long short term memory (LSTM) neural networks to extract location information in the text messages. The results show that applying Bi-LSTM on dataset gives high level accuracy after fine-tuning (up to 10 epochs). The testing results show that accuracy achieved is 0.98 and 0.076 loss value. This proves that the proposed methodology is better than the previous conditional random field (CRF)-based approaches.
