Dataset corresponding to the paper "Studying social unrest through the lens of social media".
107,674 geolocated visual posts from a social media were collected during and after the 'Nahel Merzouk' riots in the summer 2023 in 7 French cities. These posts were fed to a computer vision model with the objective of identifying riot-related posts. This dataset contains the metadata (date, time, and location) of those posts along with the probability for the post to represent a riot (according to the model). Riot-related posts are then clustered into "events", based on their spatiotemporal proximity (see paper for more details).
