Motivated by the wide popularity of microblog services (e.g., Twitter and Facebook) along with the sheer sizes of microblogs issued every second, this article introduces Taqreer as a scalable and efficient system for auto-generation of spatio-temporal analysis reports on microblogs. Taqreer is composed of two main modules: The Taghreed query engine, which is a scalable and efficient query processing engine for spatio-temporal keyword queries on microblogs and a Report Generation Tool, which receives the user analytic report request and divides it into a set of queries sent to the Taghreed engine, and a set of analysis tasks executed on top of the returned query answers. As of now, Taqreer is able to produce three analysis report types, namely comparative reports, categorical reports, and image gallery reports. Other report types will be added in the future.
