The aim of this study is detecting events on social media by improving current solutions in terms of accuracy and time performance. An event is something that occurs in a short duration of time in a certain place. In this thesis, the problem is modelled as a streaming transaction process. Three different event detection method is adapted to our solution. First one is the keyword-based event detection method that looks for bursty keywords in a period. The second one is the clustering-based event detection method which is a version of the hierarchical clustering algorithm. And the last one is the hybrid event detection method of keyword-based and clustering-based algorithms. To specify the problem as streaming transaction process, all algorithms are implemented on top of S-Store. S-Store is a streaming OLTP engine having distributed, scalable and guaranteed ordered delivery features. All of the event detection methods are run and evaluated their performance with a real data set obtained from Twitter.

Online event detection from streaming data Şahin, Özlem Ceren; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2018) The purpose of this study is detecting events from social media in an online fashion where event is a happening that takes place at a certain time and place that attracts attention within a short period of time. By doing so, it is aimed to provide a system both accurate and efficient at the same time. The problem studied in this thesis is modeled as a stream processing problem and three alternative methods are proposed. The first event detection method is keyword-based and works with bursty keywords inside ...
End User Evaluation of the FAIR4Health Data Curation Tool Gencturk, Mert; Teoman, Alper; Alvarez-Romero, Celia; Martinez-Garcia, Alicia; Parra-Calderon, Carlos Luis; Poblador-Plou, Beatriz; Löbe, Matthias; Sinaci, A Anil (2021-05-27) The aim of this study is to build an evaluation framework for the user-centric testing of the Data Curation Tool. The tool was developed in the scope of the FAIR4Health project to make health data FAIR by transforming them from legacy formats into a Common Data Model based on HL7 FHIR. The end user evaluation framework was built by following a methodology inspired from the Delphi method. We applied a series of questionnaires to a group of experts not only in different roles and skills, but also from various...
Streaming Event Detection in Microblogs: Balancing Accuracy and Performance SAHIN, OZLEM CEREN; Karagöz, Pınar; TATBUL, NESIME (2019-06-14) In this work, we model the problem of online event detection in microblogs as a stateful stream processing problem and offer a novel solution that balances result accuracy and performance. Our new approach builds on two state of the art algorithms. The first algorithm is based on identifying bursty keywords inside blocks of blog messages. The second one involves clustering blog messages based on similarity of their contents. To combine the computational simplicity of the keyword-based algorithm with the sem...
Event Detection by Change Tracking on Community Structure of Temporal Networks Aktunc, Riza; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Karagöz, Pınar (2018-08-31) Event detection is a popular research problem, aiming to detect events from online data sources with least possible delay. Most of the previous work focus on analyzing textual content such as social media postings to detect happenings. In this work, we consider event detection as a change detection problem in network structure, and propose a method that detects change in community structure extracted from communication network. We study three versions of the method based on different change models. Experime...
Event Detection on Communities: Tracking the Change in Community Structure within Temporal Communication Networks Aktunç, Rıza; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Karagöz, Pınar (Springer, Cham, 2020-01-01) In this work, we focus on social interactions in communities in order to detect events. There are several previous efforts for the event detection problem based on analyzing the change in the network structure in terms of the overall network features. However, in this work, event detection is considered as a problem of change detection in community structures. Particularly, communities extracted from communication network are focused on, and various versions of the community change detection methods are dev...
