Three web-based heuristics to determine a person's or institution's country of origin

Abstract: We propose three heuristics to determine the country of origin of a person or institution via text-based IE from the Web. We evaluate all methods on a collection of music artists and bands, and show that some heuristics outperform earlier work on the topic by terms of coverage, while retaining similar precision levels. We further investigate an extension using country-specific synonym lists.

“…For instance, an artist's geographic and cultural context, political background, or song lyrics are likely strongly related to his or her origin. Work on this task has been performed by Govaerts and Duval [86] and by Schedl et al [240]. While the former mines these pieces of information from specific web sites, the latter distills the country of origin from web pages identified by a search engine.…”

“…Schedl et al [240] propose three approaches to country of origin detection. The first one is a heuristic which compares the page count estimates returned by Google for queries of the form "artist/band" "country" and simply predicts the country with highest page count value for a given artist or band.…”

“…For example, the meaning of a song's lyrics [29,26], the political background of the musician, or the geographic origin of an artist [19,66,65] are likely to have a large impact on the music, but are not manifested in the signal. An overview of the state-of-the-art in music context-based feature extraction (and similarity estimation) can be found in [61].…”
