News and blog analysis with Lydia

The Lydia project seeks to build a relational model of people, places, and things through natural language processing of news sources and the statistical analysis of entity frequencies and co-locations. Our analysis is quite different from Google News. We track the temporal and spatial distribution of the entities in the news: who is being talked about, by whom, when, and where? Please visit our website http://www.textmap.com to see our analysis of recent news obtained from over 500 daily online news
