- PublicationRestrictedNowcasting of Earthquake Consequences using Big Social DataMessages posted to social media in the aftermath of a natural disaster have value beyond detecting the event itself. Mining such deliberately dropped digital traces allows a precise situational awareness, to help provide a timely estimate of the disaster’s consequences on the population and infrastructures.

Here, the authors explore feeding predictive models by tweets conveying on-theground social sensors’ observations, to nowcast the perceived intensity of earthquakes.

Within this context, we feel that the references to these two other works might be overstated.
