However, emergency response and humanitarian relief organizations that would like to use this information struggle with an avalanche of social media messages that exceeds human capacity to process. Emergency managers, decision makers, and affected communities can make sense of social media through a combination of machine computation and human compassion - expressed by thousands of digital volunteers who publish, process, and summarize potentially life-saving information. This book brings together computational methods from many disciplines: natural language processing, semantic technologies, data mining, machine learning, network analysis, human-computer interaction, and information visualization, focusing on methods that are commonly used for processing social media messages under time-critical constraints, and offering more than 500 references to in-depth information"-- Provided by publisher. 606 0 $aCalamità$xEffetti sociali$2BNCF 606 0 $aTecnologia dell'informazione e della comunicazione 676 $a363.3480285 700 1$aCASTILLO,$bCarlos$f<1977-$0743417 801 0 $aIT$bsalbc$gISBD 912 $a996226327503316 951 $aINF01 21$b221 DISA 959 $aBK 969 $aDISTRA 996 $aBig crisis data$91478862 997 $aUNISA
