Title
Geographic web search based on positioning expressions
Abstract
In this paper, we explore the use of natural language expressions to perform geographic searches on the Web, without resorting to geocoded data. Such expressions denote the positioning of a subject with respect to a landmark --- a valuable source of geographical context embedded in the unstructured text of Web documents. Our approach leads to novel query expansion techniques that can be explored by virtually any keyword--based search engine.
