Abstract

This paper is an extended abstract for work [1]. We propose a novel method termed Embed2Detect for event detection in social media by mainly combining the characteristics in word embeddings and dendrograms. The adoption of word embeddings incorporates powerful semantical features into event detection to overcome a major limitation inherent in previous approaches.
