In this paper we investigate how conceptualisations can be identified in weblogs using language technology (automated text analysis). We focus on getting a handle on both the concepts bloggers use and the way they think these concepts are related. The analysis of these conceptualisations can then be applied to a single weblog, resulting in a visualisation of potential conceptualisations the blo...

Over the past few years, weblogs have emerged as a new communication and publication medium on the Internet. In this paper, we describe the application of data mining, information extraction and NLP algorithms for discovering trends across our subset of approximately 100,000 weblogs. We publish daily lists of key persons, key phrases, and key paragraphs to a public web site, BlogPulse.com. In a...
