Travelogue locating mining for travel suggestion

摘要

A location extraction component analyzes a set of travelogues to identify all of the locations mentioned therein. A co-occurrence extraction component computes co-occurrence values for the identified locations. When the identity of a specified location is received, suggested locations for the specified location are identified through the use of the co-occurrence values. A map is displayed that encompasses an area including the specified location and the suggested locations. The map might include indicators for the specified location and for each of the suggested locations. Attributes of the indicators, such as their size or color, can be modified based upon the co-occurrence value associated with the corresponding suggested location.

1. A computer-implemented method for travelogue-based travel suggestions, the computer-implemented method comprising performing computer-implemented operations for:
storing a plurality of text-based travelogues comprising text descriptions associated with particular locations; identifying a plurality of location descriptions each based on a text description within the plurality of text-based travelogues; computing co-occurrence values for pairs of the identified location descriptions, wherein each co-occurrence value comprises a value specifying the number of times a first identified location description and a second identified location description occur within a same text-based travelogue for all text-based travelogues within the plurality of text-based travelogues; receiving the identity of a specified location; identifying one or more suggested locations based on co-occurrence values for the pairs of the identified location descriptions associated with the specified location; and displaying data identifying the suggested locations.
