Abstract
Generating an improved/more accurate geolocation database is provided. Given a dataset of reverse DNS hostnames for IP addresses, ground truth information, and a hierarchical geographical database, a machine learning classifier can be trained to extract and disambiguate location information from the reverse DNS hostnames of IP addresses and to apply machine learning algorithms to determine location candidates and to select a most probable candidate for a reverse DNS hostname based on a confidence score. The classifier can be used to generate an accurate geolocation database, or to provide accurate geolocation information as a service.
