Abstract

An event is defined by the attributes who, what, where, when, and how, and an event tweet usually contains these basic aspects. Real-time events are events happening presently or happened a short time back. Social media is a way to associate different types of interrelated domains.

Social networking is a platform that allows people from similar background or with similar interest to connect online. The objective of event detection is to predict the local and the global event that happened. Events constrained by time and geography, those that occurred in the nearby areas are analyzed by local event detection. Contrarily, global event detection identifies events that have a greater worldwide impact, such as COVID, wars. Social media event detection is a tool for content analysis in which the processes automatically detect the topic present in text and reveal the hidden pattern in the corpus. The major goal is to provide a thorough summary of current revelations in the area, aiding the reader in comprehending the primary issues covered thus far and suggesting potential directions for future research.
