| Challenge: | Using social media text to identify user-level race and ethnicity is a useful tool for a range of downstream applications, including passive polling or quantifying demographic bias. |
| Approach: | They propose to collect data from social media users who self-report their race/ethnicity through a survey to develop models which accurately predict the membership of a user to the four largest racial and ethnic groups with up to .884 AUC. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models accurately predict the membership of a user to the four largest racial and ethnic groups with up to .884 AUC and make available to the research community. |
