Abstract
Described is a system for geocoding social networks by minimizing total variation. A set of social media data from a social media platform having users is received. A social network is generated from the set of social media data based on communication between users. A ground truth set of locations is determined for users who make their locations public, and the ground truth set of locations is propagated across the social network to generate a location estimate for each user. A confidence measure for each location estimate is then generated.
