Abstract

Technology for media item and user language classification is disclosed. Media item classification may use models for associating language identifiers or probability distributions for multiple languages with linguistic content. User language classification may define user language models for attributing to users indications of languages they speak read, and/or write. The text classifications and user classifications may interact because the probability that given text is in a particular language may depend on a determined likelihood the user who produced the text speaks that language, or conversely, a user interacting with text in a particular language may increase the likelihood they understand that language. Some embodiments use language-tagged social media content to train n-gram classifiers for use with other social media content.
