• Authors: Xiangyu Yang, Giannis Bekoulis, Nikos Deligiannis
• Abstract summary: We introduce the new problem of extracting fine-grained traffic information from Twitter streams by making publicly available the two (constructed) traffic-related datasets from Belgium and the Brussels capital region. We propose the use of several methods that process the two subtasks either separately or in a joint setting, and we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods for solving the traffic event detection problem.

• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the new problem of extracting fine-grained traffic information from Twitter streams by also making publicly available the two (constructed) traffic-related datasets from Belgium and the Brussels capital region. In particular, we experiment with several models to identify (i) whether a tweet is traffic-related or not, and (ii) in the case that the tweet is traffic-related to identify more fine-grained information regarding the event (e.g., the type of the event, where the event happened). To do so, we frame (i) the problem of identifying whether a tweet is a traffic-related event or not as a text classification subtask, and (ii) the problem of identifying more fine-grained traffic-related information as a slot filling subtask, where fine-grained information (e.g., where an event has happened) is represented as a slot/entity of a particular type. We propose the use of several methods that process the two subtasks either separately or in a joint setting, and we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods for solving the traffic event detection problem. Experimental results indicate that the proposed architectures achieve high performance scores (i.e., more than 95% in terms of F$_{1}$ score) on the constructed datasets for both of the subtasks (i.e., text classification and slot filling) even in a transfer learning scenario. In addition, by incorporating tweet-level information in each of the tokens comprising the tweet (for the BERT-based model) can lead to a performance improvement for the joint setting.

  Traditional traffic prediction methods rely on historical traffic data to predict traffic trends. In this work, we explore how generative models combined with text describing the traffic system can be applied for traffic generation. We propose ChatTraffic, the first diffusion model for text-to-traffic generation.

  Document-level event extraction faces two main challenges: arguments-scattering and multi-event. This paper proposes a novel-based Explicitly Aggregating(SEA) model to address these limitations. SEA aggregates event information into event type and role representations, enabling the decoding of event records based on specific type-aware representations.

  We propose a novel Event Data Association (called EDA) approach to explicitly address the event association and fusion problem. The proposed EDA seeks for event trajectories that best fit the event data, in order to perform unifying data association and information fusion. The experimental results show the effectiveness of EDA under challenging scenarios, such as high speed, motion blur, and high dynamic range conditions.

  This paper introduces the Ongoing Event Detection (OED) task. The goal is to detect ongoing event mentions only, as opposed to historical, future, hypothetical, or other forms or events that are neither fresh nor current. Any application that needs to extract structured information about ongoing events from unstructured texts can take advantage of an OED system.
