  In recent years, social media has become one of the most popular platforms
for communication. These platforms allow users to report real-world incidents
that might swiftly and widely circulate throughout the whole social network. A
social event is a real-world incident that is documented on social media.
Social gatherings could contain vital documentation of crisis scenarios.
Monitoring and analyzing this rich content can produce information that is
extraordinarily valuable and help people and organizations learn how to take
action. In this paper, a survey on the potential benefits and applications of
event detection with social media data analysis will be presented. Moreover,
the critical challenges and the fundamental tradeoffs in event detection will
be methodically investigated by monitoring social media stream. Then,
fundamental open questions and possible research directions will be introduced.
