	abstract = {<p class="p1">The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and\&nbsp;the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have established a\&nbsp;collaborative research enterprise referred to as the Situational\&nbsp;Understanding Research Institute (SURI). The goal is to develop\&nbsp;an information processing framework to help the military obtain\&nbsp;real-time situational awareness of physical events by harnessing\&nbsp;the combined power of multiple sensing sources to obtain insights\&nbsp;about events and their evolution. It is envisioned that one could\&nbsp;use such information to predict behaviors of groups, be they local\&nbsp;transient groups (e.g., protests) or widespread, networked groups,\&nbsp;and thus enable proactive prevention of nefarious activities. This\&nbsp;paper presents a vision of how social media sources can be\&nbsp;exploited in the above context to obtain insights about events,\&nbsp;groups, and their evolution.</p>
