Dataset Information
We collect tweet samples using the Twitter Streaming API for the World Cup 2014 season (June 12–July 13). We filter the tweets by popular/official World Cup hashtags, such as #worldcup, #fifa, #brazil, etc. We construct entity-entity co-mention temporal graphs on 5 minute sample rate (8640 time points). The ground truth contains the goals, penalties, and injuries in all the matches that involve at least one of the renowned teams (specifically, at least one of Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Netherlands, Spain, France).
