  abstract  = {We propose a simple yet effective text-based user geolocation model based on a
	neural network with one hidden layer, which achieves state of the art
	performance over three Twitter benchmark geolocation datasets, in addition to
	producing word                                and phrase embeddings in the hidden
	layer
	that we
	show to
	be
	useful for detecting dialectal terms. As part of our analysis of dialectal
	terms, we release DAREDS, a dataset for evaluating dialect term detection
	methods.},
