Event extraction from texts aims to detect structured information such as what has happened, to whom, where and when.Event extraction and visualization are typically considered as two different tasks.In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on probabilistic modelling to jointly extract and visualize events from tweets where both tasks benefit from each other.We model each event as a joint distribution over named entities, a date, a location and event-related keywords.Moreover, both tweets and event instances are associated with coordinates in the visualization space.The manifold assumption that the intrinsic geometry of tweets is a low-rank, non-linear manifold within the high-dimensional space is incorporated into the learning framework using a regularization.Experimental results show that the proposed approach can effectively deal with both event extraction and visualization and performs remarkably better than both the state-of-the-art event extraction method and a pipeline approach for event extraction and visualization.
