>> 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.
