Sub-event detection from twitter streams as a sequence labeling problem

Implementation of our paper Sub-event detection from twitter streams as a sequence labeling problem.

Requirements

• Ubuntu 16.04
• Anaconda 5.2.0
• Numpy 1.16.1
• Gensim 3.6.0
• Pytorch 0.4.1
• PrettyTable 0.7.2

Task

The goal is, given a main event (i.e., soccer match), to identify its core sub-events (e.g., goals, kick-off, yellow cards) from Twitter streams.

Configuration

The model has several parameters that could be specified in the configuration files (see config).

Run the model

There are two directories (one for the word-level model and one the tweet-level model)

./run_<name_of_the_model>.sh
