About Global Event Tracker

Global Event Tracker is a free, real-time monitoring platform that aggregates, clusters, and visualizes geopolitical events and conflicts from around the world. Designed for journalists, researchers, analysts, and anyone seeking a live pulse on global affairs.

How It Works

The platform continuously ingests news from two primary sources: the GDELT Project (Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone) and curated international RSS feeds. Incoming articles are deduplicated, clustered by semantic similarity using 384-dimensional vector embeddings, and grouped into unified event entries.

Each event is then enriched with AI-generated descriptions, activity scoring, lifecycle classification (Emerging, Active, Cooling, or Resolved), and geographic placement on an interactive world map.

Data Sources

GDELT Project : One of the largest open datasets monitoring the world's broadcast, print, and web news in over 100 languages.
Curated RSS Feeds : Major international news outlets providing real-time article streams covering global affairs.
AI Enrichment : Event descriptions, titles, daily summaries, and topic classifications are generated using Claude by Anthropic.
