Evolution of research on global amphibian declines. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...

Utilizing Geoparsing for Mapping Natural Hazards in Europe

open access: yesWater
Natural hazards exert a detrimental influence on human survival, environmental conditions and society. Historical hazard events have generated a broad corpus of literature addressing the spatiotemporal extent, dissemination or social responses. With regard to quantitative analysis based on information locked within verbose text, the release of such ...

Social Media Meets Big Urban Data: A Case Study of Urban Waterlogging Analysis. [PDF]

open access: yesComput Intell Neurosci, 2016
With the design and development of smart cities, opportunities as well as challenges arise at the moment. For this purpose, lots of data need to be obtained. Nevertheless, circumstances vary in different cities due to the variant infrastructures and populations, which leads to the data sparsity.

Geoparsing: Solved or Biased? An Evaluation of Geographic Biases in Geoparsing

open access: yesAGILE: GIScience Series, 2022
Abstract. Geoparsing, the task of extracting toponyms from texts and associating them with geographic locations, has witnessed remarkable progress over the past years. However, despite its intrinsically geospatial nature, existing evaluations tend to focus on overall performance while paying little attention to its variation across geographic space. In

HeidelPlace: An Extensible Framework for Geoparsing [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2017 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing: System Demonstrations, 2017
Geographic information extraction from textual data sources, called geoparsing, is a key task in text processing and central to subsequent spatial analysis approaches. Several geoparsers are available that support this task, each with its own (often limited or specialized) gazetteer and its own approaches to toponym detection and resolution.

Trends in animal translocation research

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2023, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Translocations are an important conservation tool that enable the restoration of species and their ecological functions. They are particularly important during the current environmental crisis. We used a combination of text‐analysis tools to track the history and evolution of the peer‐reviewed scientific literature on animal translocation science.

Automated synthesis of biodiversity knowledge requires better tools and standardised research output

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2022, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
As the impact of anthropogenic activity on the environment has grown, research into biodiversity change and associated threats has also accelerated. Synthesising this vast literature is important for understanding the drivers of biodiversity change and identifying those actions that will mitigate further ecological losses. However, keeping pace with an
