The "GéoSem" project • Passage extraction from geographical documents • From a query to a ranked set of passages • Queries are concerned with : - time - phenomenon - space
Excerpt from "Hérin" corpus From 1965 to 1985, the number of high-school students has increased by 70%, but at different rythms and intensities depending on academies and departments. Lower in South-West and Massif Central, moderate in Brittany and Paris, the rise has been considerable in Mid-West and Alsace. […] Also occurs the schooling duration increase which was more important in departments where, in the middle of the 60's, study continuation after primary school was far from beeing systematic.

Implementation and (first) Results • A tokenisation and a morphological analysis • A DCG to perform altogether syntactic and semantic analysis• the grammar contains 160 rules• an internal lexical base of 200 entries• a gazetteer of 100000 named places (France) • 9OO expressions recognised and analysed from a geographical corpus (200 text pages) • Good results but a precise and quantitative evaluation to be done
Semantic matching : Why ? corpora […] the south of a Bordeaux-Genève line […] Text A […] the northern half of France […] 3 a query 1 […] In Paris and Toulouse […] "Which passages address Paris ?" 2 Text B […] In Ile de France region […]
Semantic matching : How ? • Spatial compatibility : Is the zone denoted by the passage spatially compatible with the one of the query? (is there, at least, an intersection?) • Relevance degree : if this zone is compatible, how relevant is it w.r.t.the query? - probability - granularity
Compatibility computation • Q1) Which passages address Paris ? • P1) […] the capital city […] • P2) […] big cities in France. • P3) […] the northern half of France […] • P4) […] South of a Bordeaux-Genève line. YES gazetteer YES gazetteer + computation YES NO gis+computation
