CrisisMMD — Southeast_Asia_Floods
A Twitter dataset of 830 tweets referencing 1,027 images by URL, collected by Alam et al. for the Southeast Asia Floods 2017 crisis. Each record contains tweet text, engagement metrics (retweets, favorites, replies, quotes), user metadata, media attachments, crisis code. The dataset is notable for its multimodal dataset from the Southeast Asia Floods 2017 crisis, collected from Twitter during the event with full Twitter API metadata. Intended for research into crisis informatics, multimodal learning, disaster response, image classification, tweet filtering, engagement analysis. This copy (the SocialED redistribution) holds the tweet objects only: the images are referenced by URL and the image files are not included, and neither are CrisisMMD's human annotations (informativeness, humanitarian category, damage severity).
