In this paper, we propose a method for compiling travel information automatically. For the compilation, we focus on travel blogs, which are defined as travel journals written by bloggers in diary form. We consider that travel blogs are a useful information source for obtaining travel information, because many bloggers' travel experiences are written in this form. Therefore, we identified travel blogs in a blog database and extracted travel information from them. We have confirmed the effectiveness of our method by experiment. . | Automatic Compilation of Travel Information from Automatically Identified Travel Blogs Hidetsugu Nanba Graduate School of Information Sciences Hiroshima City University nanba@ Takahiro Ozaki School of Information Sciences Hiroshima City University Aya Ishino Graduate School of Information Sciences Hiroshima City University ishino@ Haruka Taguma School of Information Sciences Hiroshima City University Daisuke Kobayashi Graduate School of Information Sciences Hiroshima City University kobayashi@ Toshiyuki Takezawa Graduate School of Information Sciences Hiroshima City University takezawa@ Abstract In this paper we propose a method for compiling travel information automatically.

For the identification of travel blogs we obtained scores of for Recall and for Precision. In the extraction of travel information from travel blogs we obtained for Precision at the top 100 extracted local products thereby confirming that travel blogs are a useful source of travel information. 1 Introduction Travel guidebooks and portal sites provided by tour companies and governmental tourist boards are useful sources of information about travel.
