Abstract
Mechanisms are described to extract location information from unstructured text, comprising: building a language model from geo-tagged text; building a classifier for differentiating referred and physical location; given unstructured text, identifying referred location using the language model (that is, the location to which the unstructured text refers); given the unstructured text, identifying if referred location is also the physical location using the classifier; and predicting (that is, performing calculation(s) and/or estimation(s) of degree of confidence) of referred and physical location.
