چکیده
This paper describes our participation at GeoCLEF 2005. We detail the main software components of our Geo-IR system, its adaptation for GeoCLEF and the obtained results. The software architecture includes a geographic knowledge base, a text mining tool for geo-referencing documents, and a georanking component. Results show that geo-ranking is heavily dependent on the information in the knowledge base and on the ranking algorithm involved.

This paper details the participation of the XLDB group from the University of Lisbon at the GeoCLEF task of CLEF 2006. We tested text mining methods that make use of an ontology to extract geographic references from text, assigning documents to encompassing geographic scopes. These scopes are used in document retrieval through a ranking function that combines BM25 text weighting with a similari...

This paper reports the participation of the XLDB team from the University of Lisbon at the 2008 GeoCLEF task. We focused on developing a better text annotation tool for geo-parsing the documents, handling both explicit geographic evidence (as given by placenames) and implicit geographic evidence (as given by monuments, for example). The query processing and geographic ranking approaches were re...
