This paper deals with the quality of textual features in messages in order to classify tweets. The aim of our study is to show how improving the representation of textual data affects the performance of learning algorithms. We will first introduce our method GENDESC. It generalizes less relevant words for tweet classification. Secondly, we compare and discuss the types of textual features given by different approaches. More precisely we discuss the semantic specificity of textual features, e.g. Named Entities, HashTags.
