Researchers at San Diego State University (SDSU) are applying geographic mapping principals to large sets of unstructured data in hopes of gaining insights into the relationships between them. The mapping techniques being developed at SDSU's Center for Information Convergence and Strategy (CICS) focus on large sets of data that are in mutually unintelligible formats. The data can include everything from journal articles to blog posts, and CICS' mapping is meant to make the parallels and connections between them readily and quickly apparent. An example is a map the researchers made by feeding about 2 million medical journal articles into their algorithm. To read further please visit http://go.sdsu.edu/sdsu_newscenter/news.aspx?s=75173.
