To better understand climate, historical climate(e.g. archived meteorological variables such as temperature, wind, water, etc.) and climate-related data (e.g. geographical features and human activities) are widely used by today’s climate research to derive models for an explainable climate change and its effects. However, such data sources are often dispersed across a multitude of disconnected data silos on the Web. Moreover, there is a lack of advanced climate data platforms to enable multi-source heterogeneous climate data analysis, therefore, researchers must face a stern challenge in collecting and analyzing multi-source data. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing a climate knowledge graph for the integration of multiple climate data and other data sources into one service, leveraging Web technologies (e.g. HTTP) for multi-source climate data analysis. The proposed knowledge graph is primarily composed of data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s daily climate summaries, OpenStreetMap, and Wikidata, and it supports joint data queries on these widely used databases. This paper shows, with a use case in Ireland and the United Kingdom, how climate researchers could benefit from this platform as it allows them to easily integrate datasets from different domains and geographical locations.

Existing toponym recognition methods with state-of-the-art performance mainly leverage supervised learning (i.e., deep-learning-based approaches) with parameters learned from massive, labeled datasets that must be annotated manually. This is a great inconvenience when model training needs to fit different domain texts, especially those of social media messaging. To address this issue, this article proposes a weakly supervised Chinese toponym recognition (ChineseTR) architecture that leverages a training dataset creator that generates training datasets automatically based on word collections and associated word frequencies from various texts and an extension recognizer that employs a basic bidirectional recurrent neural network based on particular features designed for toponym recognition. The results show that the proposed ChineseTR achieves a 0.76 F1 score in a corpus with a 0.718 out-of-vocabulary rate and a 0.903 in-vocabulary rate. All comparative experiments demonstrate that ChineseTR is an effective and scalable architecture that recognizes toponyms.

Spatially oriented convolutional neural network for spatial relation extraction from natural language texts / Qinjun Qiu in Transactions in GIS, vol 26 n° 2 (April 2022)

Current state-of-the-art methods rely on rule-based metrics, either those specifically developed for extracting spatial relations or those integrated in methods that combine multiple metrics. However, these methods all rely on developed rules and do not effectively capture the characteristics of natural language spatial relations because the descriptions may be heterogeneous and vague and may be context sparse. In this article, we present a spatially oriented piecewise convolutional neural network (SP-CNN) that is specifically designed with these linguistic issues in mind. Our method extends a general piecewise convolutional neural network with a set of improvements designed to tackle the task of spatial relation extraction. We also propose an automated workflow for generating training datasets by integrating new sentences with those in a knowledge base, based on string similarity and semantic similarity, and then transforming the sentences into training data. We exploit a spatially oriented channel that uses prior human knowledge to automatically match words and understand the linguistic clues to spatial relations, finally leading to an extraction decision. We present both the qualitative and quantitative performance of the proposed methodology using a large dataset collected from Wikipedia. The experimental results demonstrate that the SP-CNN, with its supervised machine learning, can significantly outperform current state-of-the-art methods on constructed datasets.

Deep learning for toponym resolution: Geocoding based on pairs of toponyms / Jacques Fize in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 10 n° 12 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 10 n° 12 (December 2021) . - n° 818 Titre : Deep learning for toponym resolution: Geocoding based on pairs of toponyms Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Jacques Fize, Auteur ; Ludovic Moncla , Auteur ; Bruno Martins, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 818 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Toponymie [Termes IGN] analyse de groupement [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] échantillonnage [Termes IGN] géocodage [Termes IGN] matrice de co-occurrence [Termes IGN] site wiki [Termes IGN] toponyme [Termes IGN] zone d'intérêt Résumé : (auteur) Geocoding aims to assign unambiguous locations (i.e., geographic coordinates) to place names (i.e., toponyms) referenced within documents (e.g., within spreadsheet tables or textual paragraphs). This task comes with multiple challenges, such as dealing with referent ambiguity (multiple places with a same name) or reference database completeness. In this work, we propose a geocoding approach based on modeling pairs of toponyms, which returns latitude-longitude coordinates. One of the input toponyms will be geocoded, and the second one is used as context to reduce ambiguities. The proposed approach is based on a deep neural network that uses Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units to produce representations from sequences of character n-grams. To train our model, we use toponym co-occurrences collected from different contexts, namely textual (i.e., co-occurrences of toponyms in Wikipedia articles) and geographical (i.e., inclusion and proximity of places based on Geonames data). Experiments based on multiple geographical areas of interest—France, United States, Great-Britain, Nigeria, Argentina and Japan—were conducted. Results show that models trained with co-occurrence data obtained a higher geocoding accuracy, and that proximity relations in combination with co-occurrences can help to obtain a slightly higher accuracy in geographical areas with fewer places in the data sources.

The main results of our research are split between three subfields: • Knowledge engineering: we have shown how to formalize fuzzy and uncertain POI categories along with suitable ontologies and reasoner-based algorithms for object matching and score calculation in a real-life context of actual POI-s, available data and easily expressable user preferences. • Machine learning: we have designed a learnable detection system for detecting duplicate POIs from different databases, usable for cross- category, cross-language and cross-city datasets. • We show that learning on Tallinn eateries improved the algorithm parameters to such a degree that on Riga data containing also museums and galleries it gave us 98% accuracy versus 85% accuracy achieved by tuning the algorithm parameters manually. • Knowledge extraction: we have designed an algorithm for high-quality keyword extraction from short crowd-sourced POI descriptions in different languages, able to find a suitable name and to add suitable types to the POI. Our clusterization algorithm is able to merge the POIs based on the extracted data: on the Panoramio and Wikipedia data about U.K. and French locations it was able to find 56% of Wikipedia objects from the textual titles/annotations of Panoramio pictures in the area.
