Abstract: We describe our approaches used in the German Dialect Identification (GDI) task at the VarDial Evaluation Campaign 2018. The goal was to identify to which out of four dialects spoken in German speaking part of Switzerland a sentence belonged to. We adopted two different metaclassifier approaches and used some data mining insights to improve the preprocessing and the meta-classifier parameters. Especially, we focused on using different feature extraction methods and how to combine them, since they influenced the performance very differently of the system. Our system achieved second place out of 8 teams, with a macro averaged F-1 of 64.6%. We also participated on the surprise dialect task with a multi-label approach.
