Textmap
Finding and Searching for Entities with TextMap, TextMed, TextBlg, and TextBiz
TextMap tracks references to people, places, and things appearing in news text, so as to identify meaningful relationships between them. TextMap monitors the state of the world by analyzing both the temporal and spatial distribution of these entities. We currently analyze over 1000 domestic and international news sources every day. TextMap uses natural language processing techniques to identify entity references and a variety of statistical techniques to analyze the juxtapositions between them.
TextMap is a search engine for entities: the important (and not so important) people, places, and things in the news.
