◾ Talk Description
In this talk we will discuss the motivation and rationale behind our Social Media Mining Toolkit (SMMT) (https://github.com/thepanacealab/SMMT), and how to use it to define frameworks for large-scale social media data gathering for NLP and machine learning research projects. We will outline all the lessons learned, mistakes, and hard decisions made to produce and maintain a publicly available large-scale dataset of COVID-19 Twitter chatter data featuring over 424 Million Tweets in 60+ languages and from 60+ countries (https://zenodo.org/record/3911930).

◾ About Speaker:
