Real-time Classification, Geolocation and Interactive Visualization of COVID-19 Information Shared on Social Media to Better Understand Global Developments

Abstract

AbstractAs people communicate on social media during COVID-19, it can be an invaluable source of useful and up-to-date information. However, the large volume and noise-to-signal ratio of social media can make this impractical. We present a prototype dashboard for the real-time classification, geolocation and interactive visualization of COVID-19 tweets that addresses these issues. We also describe a novel L2 classification layer that outperforms linear layers on a dataset of respiratory virus tweets.
