Sandy (Cleaned)

Dataset of tweets about Hurricane Sandy which was the most destructive hurricane in United States history with more than 230 deaths and 75 billion of damages. This dataset were collected from 29th October 2012 to 31st October 2012 using the 3 keywords: “sandy”, “hurricane” and “storm”.This is a cleaned version of the former dataset (sandy_full) in which we filtered through a classification algorithm non-topically related tweets as explained in our paper.In accordance with Twitter's Terms of Service, we only provide identifiers of tweets. In order to "hydrate" those tweet identifiers, or in other words, to collect the actual tweets, you could use our Tweeset tool.https://bitbucket.org/amjedbj/tweeset.If you would like to use this dataset, please cite our paper:Lynda Tamine, Laure Soulier, Lamjed Ben Jabeur, Frederic Amblard, Chihab Hanachi, Gilles Hubert, and Camille Roth. 2016.
