Indexing implicit locations for geographical information retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
Local search has become a hot topic recently in information retrieval research area. How to retrieve geographical information correctly and efficiently is a key challenge to location-based search services. In this paper, we present a GIR (geographical information retrieval) system which uses implicit locations to improve retrieval performance. Experimental results based on Geo-CLEF 2006 (a cross-language geographical retrieval track which is part of Cross Language Evaluation Forum) data sets show that the proposed method can retrieve geographical information better than previous approaches.

This paper describes the participation of Columbus Project of Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) in the GeoCLEF 2006 (a cross-language geographical retrieval track which is part of Cross Language Evaluation Forum). For location extraction from the corpus, we employ a gazetteer and rule based approach. We use the MSRA’s IREngine as our text search engine. Both text indexing and geo-indexing (implici...
متن کاملUsing GeoWordNet for Geographical Information Retrieval
We present a method that uses GeoWordNet for Geographical Information Retrieval. During the indexing phase, all places are disambiguated and assigned their coordinates on the world map. Documents are first searched for by means of a term-based search method, and then re-ranked according to the geographical information. The results show that map-based re-ranking allows to improve the results obt...
