Data for "Mapping dynamic human sentiments of heat exposure with location-based social media data"

This dataset contains all the datasets used in the study conducted for the research publication titled "Mapping dynamic human sentiments of heat exposure with location-based social media data". This paper develops a cyberGIS framework to analyze and visualize human sentiments of heat exposure dynamically based on near real-time location-based social media (LBSM) data. Large volumes and low-cost LBSM data, together with a content analysis algorithm based on natural language processing are used effectively to generate heat exposure maps from human sentiments on social media.
