Abstract(in English) | In extracting tweets useful in rescue missions during disasters, previous research have focused on extracting tweets containing specific addresses or locations. We assume that tweets without addresses can also be useful for disaster relief as the location can be inferred or written indirectly. In this study, we focus on extracting tweets from users who directly experienced the disaster (tweets with high directness) and classified them into three classes using BERT, based on the assumption that the tweets, when provided to rescue teams, can be useful for evaluating the disaster situation. Additionally, we performed feature analysis of the training data, which helped us update the annotation criteria, and improve the classification efficacy. The results were satisfying enough to be considered for application in efficient information extraction during disasters. |
