Approximations to geolocation of disaster related tweets
The use of tweets as information aid during disasters has been limited by the lack of location information in majority of the tweets. This study created two algorithms to approximate tweet location based on the text content of the tweets. The first algorithm used machine learning algorithms to predi...
