2015, Proceedings of the 24th international conference companion on World Wide Web
Dataset description
A dataset of 5,642 manually annotated tweets in the Italian language. The tweets are related to 4 different natural disasters occurred in Italy between 2009 and 2014. For each tweet is reported:
- tweet ID;
- text;
- source;
- author’s screen name;
- author’s ID;
- latitude and longitude (if available);
- time;
- disaster ID (see below);
- class.
Tweets have been manually annotated by humans and divided among 3 classes according to the information they convey:
- damage class: tweets related to the disaster and carrying information about damages to the infrastructures or on the population;
- no damage class: tweets related to the disaster but not carrying relevant information for the assessment of damages;
- not relevant class: tweets collected while building the dataset, but not related to any disaster (noise).
