Effective, efficient and scalable processing of big geo-textual streams

该项目旨在开发新的方法来实现地理文本数据的价值，这些数据同时包含位置和文本信息。该项目预计将解决大容量和高速地理文本流带来的三大关键挑战：更好的用户体验；提高效率;在查询处理方面具有更大的可伸缩性。该项目将为个人、企业和政府机构提供在大量高速、大型地理文本流中解锁关键价值的能力，这些数据将用于许多新兴的关键应用，如社交媒体分析、基于位置的服务、社交网络、电子营销和网络安全。

This project aims to develop novel approaches to realise the value of geo-textual data, which carries both location and textual information. The project expects to address three key challenges brought by massive volumes and high speeds of big geo-textual streams: better user experiences; increased efficiency; and greater scalability in query processing. The project should provide individuals, business and government agencies with the ability to unlock key values in the overwhelming volume of high-speed, big geo-textual streams for important usage in many emerging key applications, such as social media analytics, location-based services, social networks, e-marketing and cybersecurity.
