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

Ecography, 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

Adapting the Edinburgh Geoparser for Historical Georeferencing [PDF]

International Journal of Humanities and Arts Computing, 2015
Place name mentions in text may have more than one potential referent (e.g. Peru, the country vs. Peru, the city in Indiana). The Edinburgh Language Technology Group (LTG) has developed the Edinburgh Geoparser, a system that can automatically recognise place name mentions in text and disambiguate them with respect to a gazetteer.

Multi-lingual geoparsing based on machine translation [PDF]

Future Generation Computer Systems, 2019
Abstract Our method for multi-lingual geoparsing uses monolingual tools and resources along with machine translation and alignment to return location words in many languages. Not only does our method save the time and cost of developing geoparsers for each language separately, but also it allows the possibility of a wide range of having a wide range ...

How can voting mechanisms improve the robustness and generalizability of toponym disambiguation?

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023
Natural language texts, such as tweets and news, contain a vast amount of geospatial information, which can be extracted by first recognizing toponyms in texts (toponym recognition) and then identifying their geospatial representations (toponym ...

Reintroduction biology and the IUCN Red List: The dominance of species of Least Concern in the peer-reviewed literature

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Reintroduction biology is a key tool for mitigating the catastrophic reduction in species’ ranges, caused by humans over the last 500 years. To assess where reintroduction biology scientific research is targeted, we used text-analysis methods to extract ...

Event Geoparser with Pseudo-Location Entity Identification and Numerical Argument Extraction Implementation and Evaluation in Indonesian News Domain

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020
Geoparser is a fundamental component of a Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR) geoparser, which performs toponym recognition, disambiguation, and geographic coordinate resolution from unstructured text domain. However, geoparsing of news articles which

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

Comput 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.

Exploring historical links between Scotland and India using geoparsing

, 2021
A significant amount of spatial information can be derived from unstructured datasets available in web pages, e-books, and digital archives. When attached to a geographical perspective, this information can bring a whole new dimension to any story ...
