1. A system for monitoring social events using signals extracted from a social media platform, the system comprising:
- one or more processors and a non-transitory memory having instructions encoded thereon such that when the instructions are executed, the one or more processors perform operations of;
filtering a time series of social network data obtained from a social media platform based on a correlation between the time series and a set of around truth data to remove noise from the time series;
extracting enhanced filtered signals (EFS) from the filtered time series of social network data based on an amplification of a signal obtained via a summation of signals relevant to a social activity event in the filtered time series of social network data;
monitoring a level of human social activity related to the social activity event in the social network data;
detecting an increase in a number of social activity events in the social network data compared to the set of around truth data; and
generating an alert regarding the increase in the number of social activity events, wherein the alert is provided electronically via an electronic system.

Abstract
Described is a system for tracking and predicting social events. The system filters a time series of data obtained from a social media source. Enhanced filtered signals (EFS) are extracted from the filtered time series data based on an amplification signal obtained via a summation of signals relevant to a process of interest in the filtered time series data. A level of human social activity in the social media source is monitored by comparing the extracted EFS to an event database to detect an increase in a number of social activity events in the social media source compared to the event database.

7. A computer-implemented method for monitoring social events, comprising:
-
an act of causing one or more processors to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory memory such that upon execution, the one or more processors perform operations of; filtering a time series of social network data obtained from a social media platform based on a correlation between the time series and a set of ground truth data to remove noise from the time series; extracting enhanced filtered signals (EFS) from the filtered time series of social network data based on an amplification of a signal obtained via a summation of signals relevant to a social activity event in the filtered time series of social network data; monitoring a level of human social activity related to the social activity event in the social network data; detecting an increase in a number of social activity events in the social network data compared to the set of ground truth data; and generating an alert regarding the increase in the number of social activity events, wherein the alert is provided electronically via an electronic system. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
