Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus for predicting a location of a short text are disclosed. For example, the method trains a model for each parent node of a grid of a plurality of parent nodes of a geographical area using a plurality of previously received short texts having a known location, receives the short text, applies a hierarchical modeling algorithm to the short text to calculate a weighted probability for one or more child nodes of one or more of the plurality of parent nodes and predicts the location of the short text within the grid of the geographical area based upon a child node of the one or more child nodes having a highest weighted probability.
