像Twitter这样的社交媒体已经被用来观察大量人的行为。这种行为轨迹数据的可用性导致了研究“人群”在许多情况下，从紧急事件到仪式的真实世界事件的紧急兴趣。然而，人们对如何提出和处理有关人群活动的不同问题缺乏了解。本章提供了一个透镜到事件相关的人群活动在社会媒体领域的分类文献分为三个主题：（1）人群作为事件传感器，（2）人群作为事件的预测，（3）事件周围的人群特征。使用分类，它可以显示，有一个理解和利用人群活动之间的差距。一些理论和方法的问题和影响进行了讨论。本章最后提出了更好地从社交媒体人群中获得见解的未来方向。
Social media like Twitter has been prevalently used for observing the behaviors of a large number of people. The availability of such behavioral trace data leads to an emergent interest in studying “crowds” in many contexts related to real-world events ranging from emergencies to ceremonies. There is, however, a lack of understanding about how different questions regarding crowd activities were asked and approached. This chapter provides a lens into event-related crowd activities within the social media domain by classifying literature into three themes: (1) crowds as event sensors, (2) crowds as event predictors, and (3) crowd characterization around events. Using the classification, it can be revealed that there is a gap between understanding and harnessing crowd activities. Several theoretical and methodological questions and implications are discussed. This chapter concludes with suggested future directions toward better gaining insights from social media crowds.
