Research on automatically geolocating social media users has conventionally been based on the text content of posts from a given user or the social network of the user, with very little crossover between the two, and no bench-marking of the…
Nowadays, geographic information related to Twitter is crucially important for fine-grained applications. However, the amount of geographic information avail- able on Twitter is low, which makes the pursuit of many applications challenging.…
With the advent of location-based social networks, users can tag their daily activities in different locations through check-ins. These check-in locations signify user preferences for various socio-spatial activities and can be used to…
