On Estimating The Geographic Distribution of Social Media
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
Matthew Hurst, Matthew Siegler and Natalie GlanceMany social media platforms allow the user to provide profile information. This information is generally presented in a semi-structured manner either on a profile page or on the weblog home page itself. This paper describes a novel wrapper induction method that extracts profile data. Our ultimate goal is to estimate the geographic distribution of weblog authors and to that end we provide an analysis of the location information discovered for each author in a large database of weblog posts.

Matthew! This is Miles from Visible, the loud guy who doesn't need the mic, we spoke just after your presentation. I've got piles of questions about your positive object discovery tool, and you said that your collegue Natalie had done a major presentation last year on the subject. Do you have any links/details that i can have on this presentation? Really impressed with your work, thanks!
