One of my most fun projects of the 2010s was an event extraction system my team and I developed that could extract events like floodings, fires, terrorist attacks and several others, determine their properties (when, where, how many fatalities, monetary damage etc.) with the added capability that it could tell whether an event in a tweet (on "X", the system formerly known as "Twitter") was the same event that an agency news article talked about. There's a little video we made for our KDD'18 paper about it: https://www.kdd.org/kdd2018/accepted-papers/view/an-extensible-event-extraction-system-with-cross-media-event-resolution https://www.kdd.org/kdd2018/accepted-papers/view/an-extensib... Another cool project was to develop a state of the art legal search engine that was put into production across law firms in the US, and that was/is used by the U.S. supreme court justices (they were given anonymous accounts so even we could not tell who entered which query).
