Title
Predicting the Industry of Users on Social Media.
Abstract
Automatic profiling of social media users is an important task for supporting a multitude of downstream applications. While a number of studies have used social media content to extract and study collective social attributes, there is a lack of substantial research that addresses the detection of a useru0027s industry. We frame this task as classification using both feature engineering and ensemble learning. Our industry-detection system uses both posted content and profile information to detect a useru0027s industry with 64.3% accuracy, significantly outperforming the majority baseline in a taxonomy of fourteen industry classes. Our qualitative analysis suggests that a personu0027s industry not only affects the words used and their perceived meanings, but also the number and type of emotions being expressed.
