CrisisLex (http://CrisisLex.org/) is a lexical resource. Its main application is to help collect crisis-related messages from Twitter.
This repository contains the following sub-directories (Work-in-Progress):
The directory data/ contains tweets and keywords used or produced during the construction of the lexicon.
The directory src-collect/ contains scripts that can be used to collect tweets using this lexicon.
The directory src-create/ contains the scripts that can be used to create a new lexicon based on labeled tweets.
