Recognition and Disambiguation of geographical references in text

author: Ralf Steinberger, Joint Research Centre, European Commission

Description

We present an approach to recognise geographical references in multilingual documents and to disambiguate homographic place names. The purpose of this work is to provide users with meta-information about documents (or whole collections) and to present their geographical coverage visually. The approach has been implemented for sixteen languages and is a fully operational part of the online news analysis system NewsExplorer (http://press.jrc.it/NewsExplorer) and further JRC applications.
