Toponym Recognition in Historical Maps by Gazetteer Alignment [PDF]
2013 12th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition, 2013 Historical map documents are increasingly digitized for widespread access, but most are only coarsely indexed with meta-data while the contents are largely unsearchable. We propose to increase search ability by automatically recognizing the place names in these digitized artifacts.

A pragmatic guide to geoparsing evaluation: Toponyms, Named Entity Recognition and pragmatics. [PDF]
Lang Resour Eval, 2020 AbstractEmpirical methods in geoparsing have thus far lacked a standard evaluation framework describing the task, metrics and data used to compare state-of-the-art systems. Evaluation is further made inconsistent, even unrepresentative of real world usage by the lack of distinction between thedifferent types of toponyms, which necessitates new ...
