Social Media for Crowdsourcing
• Crowdsourcing leverages participatory social media
services and tools to collect information
• Crowdsourcing allows capable crowds to participate in
various HADR tasks.
• Crowdsourcing integrated with crisis map has become a
powerful tool in humanitarian assistance and disaster
relief (HADR).

Applications of Social Media & Crowdsourcing
for Disaster Relief
• Uses for Individuals
–
–
–
–
–
Find missing people
Early warning of disasters
Get information on relief work progress
Find location of shelters & medical resources
Get in touch with officials and relief workers (more ways to ask for
help)
• Uses for Agencies
–
–
–
–
–
Get situational awareness first hand from citizen reporters
Coordination platform
Send updates on progress of relief work
Discredit rumors
Obtain public feedback

Inadequacies of Current Crowdsourcing Systems
• Information is hidden in massive and noisy data
– Numerous social media sources
– Unfiltered information can be hard to interpret
– Too many messages can be overwhelming for intelligent decision making
• Lack of a common coordination mechanism
– Different focus and capabilities of HADR agencies
– Hard to optimize resource allocation and distribution
Data Mining and Machine Learning Lab
How We Can Help
• Building crowdsourcing systems to aid in event analysis
– Automate data collection & data storage for event analysis
– Preprocessing and summarize collected data for quick interpretation
– Visualize crowdsourced data
• Building a coordination system for better collaboration
– Coordination mechanism designed for disaster relief
– Intelligent crisis map view to facilitate the response
– Enhancing communications among agencies
