Abstract

Today, social media play a very important role in the world to share the real-world information, everyday existence stories, and thoughts through the virtual communities or networks. Different types of social media’s such as Twitter, Blogs, News Archieve, etc., have heterogeneous information with various formats. This information is useful to the real time events such as disasters, power outage, traffic, etc. Analyzing and understanding such information on different social media are a challenging task due to the presence of noisy data, unrelated data, and data with different formats. Hence, this paper focuses on various event detection methods in different types of social media and categorizes them according to the media type. Moreover, features and data sets of various social media are also explained in this paper.
