You’ll Never Tweet Alone: Building Sports Match Timelines from Microblog Posts

Amosse Edouard, Elena Cabrio, Sara Tonelli, Nhan Le-Thanh


Abstract
In this paper, we propose an approach to build a timeline with actions in a sports game based on tweets. We combine information provided by external knowledge bases to enrich the content of the tweets, and apply graph theory to model relations between actions and participants in a game. We demonstrate the validity of our approach using tweets collected during the EURO 2016 Championship and evaluate the output against live summaries produced by sports channels.
