TimeTrails: A System for Exploring Spatio-Temporal Information in Documents

Summary: TimeTrails extracts spatio-temporal events from text, mapping them into database-like trajectories. It fuses IR with spatio-temporal DB concepts to visualize document trajectories on a map and support queries with spatial/temporal predicates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
