Claim One:
1. A method for predicting a location of a short text, comprising: training, by a processor, 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; receiving, by the processor, the short text; applying, by the processor, 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; predicting, by the processor, 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; repeating, by the processor, the receiving, the applying and the predicting for a plurality of short texts; generating, by the processor, a graphical representation of the location of each one of the plurality of short texts within the grid, wherein the graphical representation comprises a plurality of parent nodes and each one of the plurality of parent nodes is associated with a different location; displaying, by the processor, the graphical representation in a first window; receiving, by the processor, a selection of a parent node of the plurality of parent nodes of the graphical representation; and displaying, by the processor, in a second window a list of one or more of the plurality of short texts that were predicted to be in the location of the parent node that is selected.
