Inferring geographical activity using Twitter.
Team Member(s)
Proposal
In this project we would like to infer the location category of a tweet based on the words in the tweet (including sentiments) and the time of the tweet. We believe Twitter users:
- tweet differently at different locations - e.g. a tweet made from a restaurant (about the food, the service, etc) maybe different from a tweet made from an office (about works, etc)
- location is affected by time - e.g. a person is more likely to tweet from the office in the morning than from a nightspot
- sentiment is affected by location - e.g. a person maybe more likely to feel sombre in the office than in travel spots
How locations of tweets change with time
The location categories to infer are taken from Foursquare categories: "Arts and Entertainment", "College and Education", "Food", "Home/Work/Other", "Nightlife Spots", "Great Outdoors", "Shops", "Travel Spots".
