The rapid proliferation of microblogs such as Twitter has resulted in a vast quantity of written text becoming available that contains interesting information for NLP tasks. However, the noise level in tweets is so high that standard NLP tools perform poorly. In this paper, we present a statistical truecaser for tweets using a 3-gram language model built with truecased newswire texts and tweets. Our truecasing method shows an improvement in named entity recognition and part-of-speech tagging tasks.
