Geotagging Tweets Using Their Content.

Experimental validation shows a performance improvement of three orders by TwitterTagger compared to that of the baseline model.

Abstract

Harnessing rich, but unstructured information on social networks in real-time and showing it to relevant audience based on its geographic location is a major challenge. The system developed, TwitterTagger, geotags tweets and shows them to users based on their current physical location. Experimental validation shows a performance improvement of three orders by TwitterTagger compared to that of the baseline model.
