Detection of events using voluntarily generated content in microblogs has been the objective of numerous recent studies. One essential challenge tackled in these studies is estimating the locations of events. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art location estimation techniques used in the localization of events detected in microblogs, particularly in Twitter, which is one of the most popular microblogging platforms worldwide. We analyze these techniques with respect to the targeted event type, granularity of estimated locations, location-related features selected as sources of spatial evidence, and the method used to make aggregate decisions based on the extracted evidence. We discuss the strengths and advantages of alternative solutions to various problems related to location estimation, as well as their preconditions and limitations. We examine the most widely used evaluation methods to analyze the accuracy of estimations and present the results reported in the literature. We also discuss our findings and highlight important research challenges that may need further attention.

A Hopfield neural network with multi-compartmental activation Akhmet, Marat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-05-01) The Hopfield network is a form of recurrent artificial neural network. To satisfy demands of artificial neural networks and brain activity, the networks are needed to be modified in different ways. Accordingly, it is the first time that, in our paper, a Hopfield neural network with piecewise constant argument of generalized type and constant delay is considered. To insert both types of the arguments, a multi-compartmental activation function is utilized. For the analysis of the problem, we have applied the ...
A Study on particle filter based audio-visual face tracking on the AV16.3 dataset Yılmaz, Yunus Emre; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) People tracking has received considerable attention as a research field recently. Since, there are a wide range of application areas that requires to track single or multi target people in different environments with various scenarios using a variety of sensors. In this kind of tracking scenarios, usage of audio and visual information together is commonly preferred method, because these cues are mostly exist in the tracking environment and they contain complementary information about the targets. Our work f...
A geographic information systems tool development for geostatistical analysis of endangered endemic vascular plants of Turkey Demirci, Barbaros; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Information Systems (2005) Modern information systems strive to provide effective use of resources. Supplied with analysis tools, geographical information systems (GIS) can serve its stakeholders with minimal requirements. In this study, GIS capabilities were employed for Turkish Flora. Data related with the threatened plants that are indigenous to Turkey were gathered from the relevant literature and reshaped into a dataset in which spatial locations were represented in a geographically referenced format. Afterwards, this output was...
DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE: A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING, A BIBLIOMETRICS STUDY, AND A PAPER REPOSITORY Farhoodi, Roshanak; Garousi, Vahid; Pfahl, Dietmar; Sillito, Jonathan (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2013-05-01) Scientific and engineering research is heavily dependent on effective development and use of software artifacts. Many of these artifacts are produced by the scientists themselves, rather than by trained software engineers. To address the challenges in this area, a research community often referred to as "Development of Scientific Software" has emerged in the last few decades. As this research area has matured, there has been a sharp increase in the number of papers and results made available, and it has thu...
An information system re-structuring study for the financial inspection board Yıldırım, Meltem; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2004) With the scope of this study, certain tasks of the finance inspectors have been restructured by means of information technology in an effective way. The new structure has been integrated to the Internet technology and thus can eliminate the problems of time and place. The Documentation and Personnel Departments of FIB have been chosen for piloting and performance assesment has been performed after the restructuring with new technology. The result of the assesment suggest that, when compared to the old syste...
