Recognizing users gender in social media using linguistic features

For this purpose, a framework is proposed to predict the users' gender by counting the number of some given words including verbs, pronouns, articles, adjectives, adverbs, preposition and numbers. This framework, thereafter, was tested using the comments that readers of Los Angeles Times left and the model were observed to predict the gender with an accuracy of 66.66%. Security solution and e-marketing can use this framework respectively for authentication and niche marketing.
