Toponym Disambiguation by Arborescent Relationships [PDF]
Journal of Computer Science, 2010 Problem statement: The way of referring to a place in the geographical space can be formal, based on the spatial coordinates, or informal, which we use in natural language by using toponyms (place names). A toponym can represent several geographical places. This ambiguity made problematic its conversion towards a unique formal representation.

A Hybrid Approach for Robust Multilingual Toponym Extraction and Disambiguation [PDF]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2013 Toponym extraction and disambiguation are key topics recently addressed by fields of Information Extraction and Geographical Information Retrieval. Toponym extraction and disambiguation are highly dependent processes. Not only toponym extraction effectiveness affects disambiguation, but also disambiguation results may help improving extraction accuracy.

User-Driven Toponym Disambiguation Using Dialogue
Journal of Map and Geography Libraries, 2023 The paper presents a novel method for processing information with a spatial component or querying geospatial databases. It proposes an interactive toponym disambiguation method tailored especially for dialogue systems and chatbots. The method exploits the interactive nature of dialogues to resolve ambiguity by using dialogue clarification techniques, i.

Toponym Extraction and Disambiguation Enhancement Using Loops of Feedback [PDF]
Communications in Computer and Information Science, 2013 Toponym extraction and disambiguation have received much attention in recent years. Typical fields addressing these topics are information retrieval, natural language processing, and semantic web. This paper addresses two problems with toponym extraction and disambiguation.

Improving Toponym Extraction and Disambiguation Using Feedback Loop [PDF]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2012 This paper addresses two problems with toponym extraction and disambiguation. First, almost no existing works examine the extraction and disambiguation interdependency. Second, existing disambiguation techniques mostly take as input extracted toponyms without considering the uncertainty and imperfection of the extraction process.

Toponym disambiguation in historical documents using semantic and geographic features
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage, 2017 Historians are often interested in the locations mentioned in digitized collections. However, place names are highly ambiguous and may change over time, which makes it especially hard to automatically ground mentions of places in historical texts to their real-world referents.

Disambiguating toponyms in news [PDF]
Proceedings of the conference on Human Language Technology and Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing - HLT '05, 2005 This research is aimed at the problem of disambiguating toponyms (place names) in terms of a classification derived by merging information from two publicly available gazetteers. To establish the difficulty of the problem, we measured the degree of ambiguity, with respect to a gazetteer, for toponyms in news.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Unlike English, there is no natural separator‐like gap between words in Chinese, which makes Chinese word segmentation (CWS) a difficult information processing problem. At present, geological texts contain a large number of unregistered geological terms, and the existing rule‐based methods and machine‐learning and deep learning algorithms ...
