More generally, projects like CrisisLex, Crisis Computing 4 and EPIC (Empowering the Public with Information in Crisis) have emerged as major efforts in the crisis informatics space due to two reasons: First, the abundance and fine granularity of social media data implies that mining such data during crises can lead to robust, real-time responses; second, the recognition that any technology that is thus developed must also address the inherent challenges (including problems of noise, scale and irrelevance) in working with such datasets. Other relevant work in crisis informatics, both in terms of defining 'actionable information' problems like urgency and need mining, and providing multimodal Twitter datasets from natural disasters, may be found in (He et al. ./cache/cord-285721-2fimkpd8.txt ./txt/cord-285721-2fimkpd8.txt
