Gregory Knight Professor of Geography Thesis Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Mark N. Gahegan Professor of Geography Thesis Co-Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Robert G. Crane Professor of Geography Dennis W. Thomson Professor of Meteorology Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation began with the goal to develop a methodology for locating climate change analogs, and quickly turned into a quest for computational means of locating geographical analogs in general. Previous work in geographical analogs either only computed on numeric information, or manually considered qualitative information. Current and emerging technologies, such as electronic document collections, the Internet, and the Semantic Web, make it possible for people and organizations to store millions of books and articles, share them with the world, or even author some themselves. The amount of electronic and online content is expanding at an exponential speed, such that analysts are increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer volumes of accessible information. The dissertation explores techniques from knowledge engineering, artificial intelligence, information sciences, linguistics and cognitive science, and proposes a novel, automatic methodology that computes similarity within online/offline textual information, and graphically and statistically combines the results with those of numeric methods.
