GeoBERTSegmenter: Word Segmentation of Chinese Texts in the Geoscience Domain Using the Improved BERT Model

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022

From Topic Networks to Distributed Cognitive Maps: Zipfian Topic Universes in the Area of Volunteered Geographic Information

open access: yesComplexity, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Are nearby places (e.g., cities) described by related words? In this article, we transfer this research question in the field of lexical encoding of geographic information onto the level of intertextuality. To this end, we explore Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) to model texts addressing places at the level of cities or regions with the help ...

Improving Toponym Extraction and Disambiguation Using Feedback Loop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper addresses two problems with toponym extraction and disambiguation. First, almost no existing works examine the extraction and disambiguation interdependency. Second, existing disambiguation techniques mostly take as input extracted toponyms without considering the uncertainty and imperfection of the extraction process.
