Location context mining
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for location context mining within document text, the computer-implemented method comprising performing computer-implemented operations for:
- receiving one or more documents;
identifying, by a computing device, location words within the documents;
identifying, by the computing device, candidate location context words within the documents, the candidate location context words being non-geographic words located within a specified word count of the location words with the documents, the candidate location context words being associated with the identified location words within the documents, where a set of all possible candidate location context words ci,j for each location word in a list of location words Xi,j being defined as;

Abstract
Concepts and technologies are described herein for mining location contexts within document text. Through an implementation of the concepts and technologies presented herein, functionality can be provided for location context mining within articles, websites, travelogues, or other such documents. A location context is a concept associated with a specific location. For example, the contexts “beach” and “hula” are associated with Hawaii. Similarly, “glacier” and “polar bear” are contexts associated with Alaska. Location context mining can automatically discover locations and location contexts by mining information from a set of documents. User interfaces to support queries of the mined information are also presented herein.
