Abstract
A wealth of unstructured textual content contains valuable geographic insights. This geographic information holds significance across diverse domains, including geographic information retrieval, disaster management, and spatial humanities. Despite significant progress in the extraction of geographic information from texts, numerous unresolved challenges persist, ranging from methodologies, systems, data, and applications to privacy concerns. This workshop will serve as a platform for the discourse of recent breakthroughs, novel ideas, and conceptual innovations in this field.
