[Big] Citizen Sensing
• Do you know?
– #tweets In the first week of Hurricane Sandy?
– #tweets in the first two days of Oklahoma tornado?

[Big] Ad-hoc Community

HOW BEST can responders hear and engage citizens of this community?
Me and @CeceVancePR are coordinating a clothing/food drive for families affected by Hurricane Sandy. If you would like to donate, DM us
Does anyone know how to donate clothes to hurricane #Sandy victims?
[REQUEST]
[OFFER]
Uncoordinated Engagement
• May lead to second disaster to be managed:– Under-supply of required demands – Over-supply of not required resources
• Hurricane Sandy example, “Thanks, but no thanks”, NPR, Jan 12 2013
• Story link:http://www.npr.org/2013/01/09/168946170/thanks-but-no-thanks-when-post-disaster-donations-overwhelm
Coordinated Engagement
• Critical function of coordination1. Identify
– Demand– Supply
2. Match the complementary intentions
3. Engage with the important actors – Demander & Supplier– Community Influencer with high network reach
Identifying and Matching demand-supply is like Search!
• Query: – Demand of food
• Results: – Messages and users who are supplying of food
Enabling Relief Coordination
• Challenges:1. Ambiguity in expression
2. Matching intentions3. Verify
Anyone know where the nearest #RedCross is? I wanna give blood today to help the victims of hurricane Sandy.
Enabling Relief Coordination
• Challenges:1. Identifying demand-supply intentions is tricky!2. Matching intentions is also context sensitive!
• E.g., different times and geography
3. Verify
Me and @CeceVancePR are coordinating a clothing/food drive for families affected by Hurricane Sandy. If you would like to donate, DM us. (DEMAND)
I want to send some clothes for hurricane relief (SUPPLY)
Enabling Relief Coordination
• Challenges:1. Identifying demand-supply intentions is tricky!2. Matching intentions is also contextual!3. Assessing trust during verification
Me and @xyz123 are coordinating a clothing/food drive for families affected by Hurricane Sandy. If you would like to donate, DM us. (DEMAND)
Should I trust?
Examples from our analysis during Oklahoma Tornado
• Machine Learning driven classification system
• 2.1 million tweets crawled in the first 48 hours
• 7% related to donations– 1.3% monetary requests– ~500 non-monetary requests– ~150 resource/service offers
Text \"FOOD\" to 32333, REDCROSS to 90999, or STORM to
80888 to donate $10 in storm relief. #moore #oklahoma

Bring Humans in Processing Loop
• Automation may not be enough for coordination– Missing information– Authentication– Verification
• Future: Create VerityClicker and VerifyClicker
Coordinated Engagement InterfaceVisualize Network reach of
Influencer
Categorizing Influencer by need type
View/Engage Influencer profiles and
their messages
Engagement Interface for Demand-Supply in Space & Time
What-Where-How-Who-Why Coordination Summarization of
Demand and Supply related messages
Contextual Information for a
chosen topical tags
Conclusion
• A focus on demand-supply centric technology for social media can assist coordination
• Actionable filtering rather than generic

“…humanitarians must adapt to the idea of information
as a basic need in humanitarian response…
…The network age [allows] humanitarian organizations
to…incorporate more information from people
affected by crisis into their decisions and
potentially enable communities to be true
stakeholders.”

• Broad keyword filters• Sampling the data• Annotating tweets• Build a classifier• Iterate the process to improve
accuracy
Advantages• Obtain unique incidence during an
election• Enable comparative analysis• Imperative to first responders• Solves the problem of information
overload
