Abstract
In recent years, there has been increased interest in event detection using data posted to social media sites. Automatically transforming user-generated content into information relating to events is a challenging task due to the short informal language used within the content and the variety oftopics discussed on social media. Recent advances in detecting real-world events in English and other languages havebeen published. However, the detection of events in the Arabic language has been limited to date. To address this task, wepresent an end-to-end event detection framework which comprises six main components: data collection, pre-processing, classification, feature selection, topic clustering and summarization. Large-scale experiments over millions of Arabic Twitter messages show the effectiveness of our approach for detecting real-world event content from Twitter posts.
