- Brendan T. O'Connor, Jacob Eisenstein, E. Xing, Noah A. Smith. 2010. Discovering Demographic Language Variation. Abstract: We propose a Bayesian generative model of how demographic social factors influence lexical choice. We apply the method to a corpus of geo-tagged Twitter messages originating from mobile phones, cross-referenced against U.S. Census demographic data. Our method discovers communities jointly defined by linguistic and demographic properties.
