Abstract

In this paper, we describe our work on extracting entities from the online social messages regarding emergent events for ontology learning, which can contribute to a solution for quick response of emerging disastrous events. Our work started with the development of a real-time event detection system using a data-cluster slicing approach which combines social data analysis and early warning algorithms, allowing for quickly detecting emerging large-scale events from collected tweets. Subsequently, our system computes the energy of each collected event dataset, and then encapsulates ranked temporal, spatial and topical keywords into a structured node for event-entity extraction, in order to learn and update event ontologies for fast response of emergent events. The preliminary experimental results demonstrate that our developed system is workable, allowing for prediction of possible evolution for early warning of critical incidents with a dynamic ontology engineering.
