The rapidly increasing use of geographically restrictive web search has made determination of the geographic relevance of web content an important task. We have developed a method that uses Gaussian mixture models to estimate the geographic relevance of web pages and arbitrary topics and have implemented a visualization interface that maps pages and topics to geographic space. The system enables the user to retrieve web pages and topics expressed on the Web that are relevant to an arbitrary geographic area.
