ITIPY Automated extraction of itineraries from historical-geographical corpora

Participants : Mauro Gaio, Renaud Marlet, Bruno Mery, Richard Moot [ correspondent ] , Christian Retoré, Natalia Vinogradova.

A project including travel money and a PhD grant funded by Région Aquitaine and INRIA involves Signes, DESI LIUPPA (Pau) and LALIC IRIT (Toulouse). The purpose of this project is to automatically extract spatial and temporal information from reports of travel through the Pyrénées, in order to reconstruct itineraries. It should provide an easy access, in particular for tourists, to the wide literary corpora gathered and digitalized by the Médiathèque de Pau. At the same time it will put forward the regional patrimony. This task involves information retrieval, deep syntactic and semantic analysis of relevant parts.
