Abstract
Technologies are generally described for determining a reliability of an online post. In some examples, a method may include identifying from an online post at least one word associated with a place, identifying a location from which the online post was posted, and determining a reliability of the online post based at least in part on the identified word associated with the place and the identified location from which the online post was posted.
Claims20
A method to detect an incident occurrence based on online posts, comprising:
- retrieving online posts that include one or more words associated with a location;
- determining, of the online posts, a subset of the online posts that were posted from within a predetermined distance from the location;
- detecting a variation in posting frequency of the subset of online posts;
- and
- determining an incident occurrence at the location, based at least on the detected variation in the posting frequency of the subset of online posts.
A method to detect an incident occurrence based on online posts, the method comprising:
- monitoring a variation in posting frequency of online posts that include one or more words associated with a location and that were posted from within a predetermined distance from the location;
- detecting a sudden increase in the posting frequency of the monitored online posts;
- determining an incident occurrence at the location, based at least on the detected sudden increase;
- and
- triggering an alarm in response to the determining of the incident occurrence at the location.
A system to detect an incident occurrence from results of searching online posts, comprising:
- a computing device;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium including at least one or more instructions that are executable by the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a search request;
- identifying a location from the search request;
- retrieving online posts that include one or more words associated with the location, in response to the search request;
- detecting a respective posting location from which each of the retrieved online posts was posted;
- determining a respective reliability of each of the retrieved online posts, based at least on the respective detected posting location, wherein the respective determined reliability of each of the retrieved online posts decreases as a distance between the location and the respective detected posting location from which each of the retrieved online posts was posted increases;
- presenting at least a portion of the retrieved online posts in order of the respective determined reliabilities;
- determining a posting frequency of the retrieved online posts whose respective determined reliabilities are above a predetermined value;
- and
- determining, based at least on the determined posting frequency, an incident occurrence at the first location.
