This work looks at the degree to which gender and language\ncan be inferred from a username alone by making use of unsupervised morphology\ninduction to decompose usernames into sub-units. Experimental results on the\ntwo tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed morphological features\ncompared to a character n-gram baseline.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.02045v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.02045v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"what-your-username-says-about-you","repo_url":"https://github.com/ajaech/username_analytics","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
