\u201cWouldn\u2019t it be great if we had an algorithm that was smart enough to read the world news and anticipate conflict before it happens,\u201d says Jonathan Morgan, Co-Founder and Technical Director for Crisis.Net, a new Application Program Interface (API) developed by Ushahidi. \u201cBut that\u2019s not just a limitation of technology,\u201d he explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are just too many variables and it\u2019s important to have deep domain expertise of the area, the groups and ethnicities engaged in conflict, and even the topology of the region,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s a massive amount of knowledge that\u2019s required to truly understand how a conflict is unfolding that’s quite specific to a particular region.\u201d<\/p>\n

But times have changed since Ushahidi first launched its crisis mapping platform in the violent aftermath of the 2007 elections in Kenya. With the use of social media now widespread, so too has the way in which many media, international organisations, and local NGOs now work. Ushahidi has had to go social.<\/p>\n

But consuming already existing data can prove quite a hurdle for many journalists and analysts without additional sources added into the mix. Even if experienced in doing so, they often have to relearn and adapt the same process when they move to a crisis or conflict in another region. And those not used to retrieving and using data have an even steeper learning curve. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the real barrier to acting quickly when conflicts or other emergency situations arise,\u201d Morgan concludes. \u201cSome data will already exist while other data is generated in real-time from streaming information sources such as social media, sensors, or even quasi-real-time data that comes out of traditional media, RSS feeds, and stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s where Crisis.Net comes in with its ability to deliver data pulled from a variety of sources in Javascript Object Notation (JSON) or Comma-Separated Values (CSV) formats. The API should make it possible for media organisations and developers alike to build their own applications without the need to spend days locating, identifying, and processing data.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we found with Ushahidi was that we had to rely on information directly submitted by users interested in a particular crisis, disaster, or a conflict, but that when we wanted to do any\u00a0 <\/span>analysis on data on a particular conflict, in the humanitarian space at least, it was tucked away in tiny corners scattered all over the Internet,\u201d says Morgan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere might be a non-profit doing some work in a particular region or there\u2019s collected data stashed in reports sitting on a server somewhere,\u201d he explains. \u201cOr maybe there\u2019s a list of reports in a spreadsheet on Google Drive or a hashtag that we want to follow for information relevant to a crisis, but there\u2019s no good way to collect all of this disparate data in a single place.\u201d<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/onnik-krikorian.com\/new_site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2014-08-19-at-00.53.30-2.png” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

To demonstrate the potential of Crisis.Net, the Facebook pages of Palestinian supporters were sourced to visualise recent attacks on Gaza. Tweets have also been analysed to assess attitudes to the Israeli Defence Force (IDF). Crisis.Net has also created a timeline charting the Islamic State (of Iraq and the Levant) in Northern Iraq based on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook conversations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Partnering with AlchemyAPI, facial recognition technology was used to filter content of IS members from Twitter. But, as its name suggests, Crisis.Net not just about conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe World Policy Journal is also building on a map based on data we retrieved for them about the spread of Ebola in West Africa,\u201d says Morgan, \u201cand we\u2019ve also been in discussion with the African Union and some other international NGOs about combining different data for early warning systems that\u2019s more humanitarian focused.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/onnik-krikorian.com\/new_site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screen-Shot-2014-08-19-at-00.53.19-2.png” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

As with Ushahidi itself, verification is vital, but that is left up to end users. It\u2019s also why Morgan worked with Eliot Higgins, better known online as Brown Moses. Working on the conflict in Syria by monitoring social media sites, Higgins had already managed to put together collect and collate precise information about militant groups in the conflict.<\/p>\n

Working with the 1,700 Facebook pages and YouTube channels Higgins monitors and piping them into Crisis.Net, Morgan was able to demonstrate that maps of the conflict derived from information on social media could be as accurate if not as detailed as those produced by the BBC using data manually collected by humanitarian organisations working in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not trying to be the arbiters of truth or what conflict or crisis data is,\u201d he explains. \u201cThere might be interest in highly subjective content from a particular community in order to examine exactly that kind of polarisation. We also try to attach enough metadata so that users can determine whether or not a piece of information is valid for the sort of analysis they want.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the right level of abstraction?\u201d he muses. \u201cAt Ushahidi in general we work hard to make platforms that make just enough choices to make sure that we\u2019re building tools that are useful for as broad an audience as possible, but without making so many choices that we\u2019re limiting the possibilities of the platform as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Language is another problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cMachine translation is not useful for understanding what somebody is trying to say,\u201d he says, \u201cbut enough of marker keywords are consistently translated. Things like \u2018killing\u2019 or \u2018barrel bombs,\u2019 an important one in Syria, are pretty reliably translated and enough to give our algorithms what they need in order to categorise content and understand the names of places or people.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also depends on the situation in terms of social media use itself. Nigeria, for example, is a \u2018black hole,\u2019 according to Morgan while there\u2019s an abundance of sources in the Middle East.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One issue still being determined, however, is the interface and whether it should be made drag and drop so that users don\u2019t need any technical expertise to interact with raw data. Crisis.Net is also slated to be incorporated into the third major release of Ushahidi in order to allow its own visualisations to be populated by data derived from the API.<\/p>\n

Morgan is also advocating for international organisations to become\u00a0 <\/span>more open in their data policies. For now, much of it is locked away and only some data is released publicly. This is a valuable resource in its own right, he explains, but especially when reliable information from social media is absent or completely lacking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always surprised by the stories a dataset, or a different combination of datasets, can tell and I don\u2019t think there\u2019s an appreciation of that in those large organisations about the potential power for change,\u201d notes Morgan. \u201cThey really have a valuable resource, but they\u2019re just not very receptive to the idea that it can be shared publicly in a way that\u2019s safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ushahidi hopes that Crisis.Net will encourage others to build their own applications with its API. \u201cThe long-term goal of the platform is to make data so accessible that those with beginner to intermediate technical expertise can build their own applications to benefit their communities instead of, say, another app to share photos with friends,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that people are really attracted to that idea, but have no place to start. There\u2019s just no way for them to do so without having a lot of knowledge about where all that information can come from. I hope we can move people to a higher level of social engagement if we can make the repetitive process of finding and combining information sources easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
