A natural language processing and geospatial clustering framework for harvesting local place names from geotagged housing advertisements     

Yingjie Hu  Huina Mao  Grant McKenzie 《International journal of geographical information science》2019,33(4):714-738

Local place names are frequently used by residents living in a geographic region. Such place names may not be recorded in existing gazetteers, due to their vernacular nature, relative insignificance to a gazetteer covering a large area (e.g. the entire world), recent establishment (e.g. the name of a newly-opened shopping center) or other reasons. While not always recorded, local place names play important roles in many applications, from supporting public participation in urban planning to locating victims in disaster response. In this paper, we propose a computational framework for harvesting local place names from geotagged housing advertisements. We make use of those advertisements posted on local-oriented websites, such as Craigslist, where local place names are often mentioned. The proposed framework consists of two stages: natural language processing (NLP) and geospatial clustering. The NLP stage examines the textual content of housing advertisements and extracts place name candidates. The geospatial stage focuses on the coordinates associated with the extracted place name candidates and performs multiscale geospatial clustering to filter out the non-place names. We evaluate our framework by comparing its performance with those of six baselines. We also compare our result with four existing gazetteers to demonstrate the not-yet-recorded local place names discovered by our framework.  相似文献   

个性化大地测量报表服务的实现   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

赵冬青  李昌贵  吴凤娟 《海洋测绘》2008,28(2):68-71

报表服务是大地测量信息系统的一项基本功能，但往往会因为格式的微小调整而导致系统的整体重构。首先分析了当前报表生成方法的缺点，提出了基于XML相关技术生成报表的新思路；然后介绍了以XML为基本语法的统一数据交换接口，屏蔽了各种报表数据源的差异；重点讨论了如何运用XSL技术将接口文件变换成通用的HTML，并对报表中的图形信息用SVG进行描述，从而将报表转换成通用浏览器可以识别的信息模型；最后对此技术进行了实践。通过在系统外部更改报表样式文件，能够实现报表服务的个性化，增强系统的扩展性。  相似文献   

基于本体的地理信息查询检索方法研究     

孟婵媛  李勤超  李宏伟  贾俊涛 《测绘科学》2008,(Z1)

传统的GIS查询方式和信息检索方式已经难以满足人们对地理信息查询和检索的越来越广泛的需要,为此需要发展新的地理信息查询检索方法。本文将地理本体的思想引入到信息查询应用中,从查询式优化、查询式扩展、可视化与检索结果知识化等方面展开讨论,是对传统查询检索方法的丰富和发展。在此基础上,设计了基于本体的信息检索模型框架,详细并讨论了实现该检索模型的两个关键技术-自然语言处理技术、本体推理技术。  相似文献   

现代地图语言   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

地图符号发展到今天,已经超越了其符号本身,应当把它当作一种语言来研究,即地图语言。地图语言使人们使用地图进行空间认识更加贴近现实,使地理空间信息的传输更加准确、生动和形象。文中主要对现代地图语言的形成,现代地图语言的主要表现形式即视觉符号、听觉符号和触觉符号,以及地图语言的本质即视觉变量、听觉变量和触觉变量进行了探讨。  相似文献   

Defending national linguistic territories in the European Single Market: towards more transnational geolinguistic analysis     

Mark Wise 《Area》2006,38(2):204-212

This paper calls for more analysis of contemporary transnational linguistic movements. Geographers have hitherto focused on linguistic problems within states and paid less attention to issues that arise as languages, notably English, are used internationally across state boundaries. It does this by examining a conflict that arose when forces integrating the supranational European Single Market space came into conflict with a Member State's determination to protect the linguistic 'integrity' of its national territory. This conflict would appear to be a precursor of similar ones to come as languages increasingly compete in a linguistic market within an integrating Europe and a globalizing world.  相似文献

Engineering geology of loess and loess-like deposits: a commentary on the Russian literature     

I. F. Jefferson  D. Evstatiev  D. Karastanev  N. G. Mavlyanova  I. J. Smalley 《Engineering Geology》2003,68(3-4):333-351

Loess and loess-like deposits were much studied in the Soviet Union, and are currently under investigation in Russia and surrounding countries. There is a vast literature in Russian, which touches on all aspects of loess science and technology. In particular, the studies of the origin of collapsibility are almost totally in Russian, and of course studies on the various regions of Russia and the countries of the Former Soviet Union FSU appear in Russian. This review looks at the literature in Russian and attempts to pick out key contributors, major topics and works and to identify the critical regions and zones of investigation. Because so many regions of the FSU had people living on loess ground, there is a vast literature on engineering geology and ground engineering topics, and this tends to dominate all the literature on loess in Russian. Following Russian practice, the fine-grained deposits under consideration are divided into loess and loess-like deposits. Three main topics are recognised across the whole spectrum of loess research: formation and distribution of loess deposits; stratigraphy, cyclicity and palaeoclimatology; and engineering topics, in particular hydrocollapse and subsidence, and we concentrate on the engineering geology topics. An attempt is made, based on the map of Abelev and Abelev [Abelev, Yu.M., Abelev, M.Yu., 1968. Fundamentals of design and construction on collapsible macroporous soils, 2nd ed. Stroiizdat, Moscow, 431 pp. (in Russian)] of collapsing loess deposits, to define seven loess regions within the geographical limits of the old USSR. The seven regions are those where geotechnical problems might be expected.  相似文献
