Abstract:Abstract. This paper describes a technique to extract geographic location information from a natural language description of a location. The technique relies on a set of domain specific tags and a set of keywords. The tags are used to identify roads, intersections, and landmarks. Tag combinations are used to discover road segments. The technique is applied to understanding highway construction reports for the Canadian Province of Ontario.
