Experiments with Geographic Evidence Extracted from Documents
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the 2008 participation at GeoCLEF, we focused on improving the extraction of geographic signatures from documents and optimising their use for GIR. The results show that the detection of explicit geographic named entities for including their terms in a tuned weighted index field significantly improves retrieval performance when compared to classic text retrieval.

Using Linked Data To Extract Geo-Knowledge
There are several approaches to extract geo-knowledge from documents and textual fields in databases. Most of them focus on detecting geographic evidence, from which the associated geographic location can be determined. This paper is based on a different premise – geo-knowledge can be extracted even from non-geographic evidence, taking advantage of the linked data paradigm. The paper gives an o...
متن کاملGeographic Information Retrieval and Visualization of Online Unstructured Documents
Newspapers, travel narratives, blogs, books and the Internet hold a huge amount of geographic information that can be extracted in order to provide visual exploration. Also, the understanding of place references involves knowledge of the document context. In this way, the study of tools for disambiguation is needed. For the automatic annotation of time and location, both shared world knowledge ...

Collection Processing Statistics We describe an evaluation experiment on GeoTemporal Document Retrieval created for the GeoTime evaluation task of NTCIR 2010. GeoTemporal Retrieval aims at to improve retrieval results using Geographic and Temporal dimensions of relevance. To accomplish that task, systems need to extract geographic and temporal information from the documents, and then explore se...
