Abstract. Accurate and real-time identification of domains and concepts discussed in microblogging texts is crucial for many important applications such as earthquake monitoring, influenza surveillance and disaster management. Existing techniques such as machine learning and keyword generation are application specific and require significant amount of training in order to achieve high accuracy. In this paper, we propose to use a multiple domain taxonomy (MDT) to capture general user knowledge. We formally define the problems of domain classification and concept tagging. Using the MDT, we devise domain-independent pure frequency count methods that do not require any training data nor annotations and that are not sensitive to misspellings or shortened word forms. Our extensive experimental analysis on real Twitter data shows that both methods have significantly better identification accuracy with low runtime than existing methods for large datasets.
