A workflow for geocoding South African addresses
… has gained less popularity because of inaccurate geocoding methods and a lack of data standardization. Commercial services can also be expensive and as such, smaller businesses have been reluctant to make a financial commitment to spatial analytics. This thesis discusses the challenges specific to …

A New Approach For Geocoding Postal Code-Based Data in Health Related Studies
Geocoding involves the conversion of textual addresses or names of places into digital coordinates. Health researchers often use geocoding for studying the spatial distribution of populations based on a certain health outcome. To conduct any form of geocoding, health researchers generally require …

Localizing the media, locating ourselves: a critical comparative analysis of socio-spatial sorting in locative media platforms (Google AND Flickr 2009-2011)
In this thesis I explore media geocoding (i.e., geotagging or georeferencing), the process of inscribing the media with geographic information. A process that enables distinct forms of producing, storing, and distributing information based on location. Historically, geographic information …

Proximity, Politics and Policy Attitudes in the North American Context
… is the integration of spatial data through geocoding (appending latitude–longitude coordinates to) respondent-level data and calculating distances to relevant geographic features (e.g., the Canada–United States border, oil pipelines and the United States–Mexico border).

Early neighborhood disadvantage and risk for internalizing problems: underlying neurobiological mechanisms
… functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Geocoding of participants' residential locations was used to compute neighborhood disadvantage and fine particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) exposure. Global efficiency and clustering in the central executive (CEN), default mode (DMN), and salience …

Where are you talking about? Advances and Challenges of Geographic Analysis of Text with Application to Disease Monitoring
The Natural Language Processing task we focus on in this thesis is Geoparsing. Geoparsing is the process of extraction and grounding of toponyms (place names). Consider this sentence: "The victims of the Spanish earthquake off the coast of Malaga were of American and Mexican origin." Four toponyms …
