Lecture

Sequential pattern mining for robust event detection

Description

This lecture by the instructor focuses on a method for event detection from news using limited external resources, without linguistic analysis. The approach relies on the journalistic genre, making it language-independent and robust to noise. It has been successfully applied to epidemic event detection in real-time across 40 languages. The presentation also discusses the expansion of this work to historical newspapers and other domains. Techniques such as sequential pattern mining and filtering of maximal frequent sequences are explored, showcasing the ability to process text efficiently and accurately for event detection.
