Abstract

This year was the fifth in the ALTA series of shared tasks. The topic of the 2014 ALTA shared task was to identify location information in tweets. As in past competitions, we used Kaggle in Class as the framework for submission, evaluation and communication with the participants. In this paper we describe the details of the shared task, evaluation method, and results of the participating systems.
