Investigating the Use of Machine Learning Algorithms in Detecting Gender of the Arabic Tweet Author
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Twitter is one of the most popular social network sites on the Internet to share opinions and knowledge extensively. Many advertisers use these Tweets to collect some features and attributes of Tweeters to target specific groups of highly engaged people. Gender detection is a sub-field of sentiment analysis for extracting and predicting the gender of a Tweet author. In this paper, we aim to investigate the gender of Tweet authors using different classification mining techniques on Arabic language, such as Naïve Bayes (NB), Support vector machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes Multinomial (NBM), J48 decision tree, KNN. The results show that the NBM, SVM, and J48 classifiers can achieve accuracy above to 98%, by adding names of Tweet author as a feature. The results also show that the preprocessing approach has negative effect on the accuracy of gender detection. In nutshell, this study shows that the ability of using machine learning classifiers in detecting the gender of Arabic Tweet author.
