| Abstract | We describe a method that predicts the location of user-generated content using textual features alone. Unlike previous methods for geotagging text documents, our proposed method is not sensitive to how we discretize space. We also discover that spatial resolution has an impact on the prediction accuracy, which allows us to trade-off the spatial resolution of the predicted location against our confidence about its accuracy. Our method can be used to estimate the error in document's predicted location, enabling us to filter out poor quality predictions. We evaluate the proposed method extensively on user-generated content collected from two different social media sites, Flickr and Twitter. Our evaluation examines its performance on the geotagging task and with respect to different parameters. We achieve state-of-the-art results for all three tasks: location prediction, error estimation and result ranking and also provide a theoretical explanation of the effect of spatial resolution factor on geotagging accuracy. Our findings provide valuable insights into the design of geotagging systems and their quality control. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
