In this work we present a Conversation Classifierbased on Multiple Classifiers, to detect Life Events on SocialMedia. In one hand, conversations can provide more contextand help disambiguate life event detection, compared with single posts. On the other hand, the increase in number of messages and the way they interact with each other within the conversation cannot be trivially modeled by a classifier. To tackle this problem, we focus on creating a set of classifiers from different feature sets, and combining their classification outputs to improve accuracy. The experiments show that multiple classifiers are promising for this problem, being able to present an increase of about 45% in the F-Score.
