> The Image of Germany in the World:
> Using DocumentAtlas (and Other Methods) for Email Mining
>
> Email corpora can be as indicative of large-scale
> Internet user interests and concerns as social media
> are, and that by being less public than most wikis or
> blogs, they may also capture voices that are otherwise
> unheard. We analyse an email corpus from a major
> German news service whose official role it is to
> `present Germany abroad', defining images that people
> could have of Germany. We propose that the emails sent
> in response to this reflect, to a certain extent, the
> image that people do have of Germany. Building on the
> email corpus and on Web site data, and using different
> forms of LSA-based data analysis, we identify salient
> topics. We develop measures of pattern interestingness
> that help to focus the analysis on novel, useful,
> valid and understandable patterns in the data.  We
> suggest that these methods can also be employed in
> investigations of other media, producing a
> multi-perspective view of Internet users' concerns,
> thoughts and expectations.
