In one embodiment, the present disclosure includes a method for determining a location of a user. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving operation data including character fields and a first identifier. A query that includes the first identifier is sent to a data store. In response to the query, operation types and corresponding count values are received. Character fields from the operation data are converted into tokens. For each of the tokens, a likelihood value and a second identifier specifying a respective machine learning parameter is retrieved. A machine-learning algorithm is configured based on the count values, and the likelihood values and specified parameters are processed by the configured machine-learning algorithm to determine whether the operation data corresponds to the geographic location of a user.
