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

Adaptive Geoparsing Method for Toponym Recognition and Resolution in Unstructured Text
Remote Sensing, 2020 The automatic extraction of geospatial information is an important aspect of data mining. Computer systems capable of discovering geographic information from natural language involve a complex process called geoparsing, which includes two important tasks:

Toponym Disambiguation by Arborescent Relationships [PDF]
Journal of Computer Science, 2010 Problem statement: The way of referring to a place in the geographical space can be formal, based on the spatial coordinates, or informal, which we use in natural language by using toponyms (place names). A toponym can represent several geographical places. This ambiguity made problematic its conversion towards a unique formal representation.

Text‐analysis reveals taxonomic and geographic disparities in animal pollination literature
Ecography, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 44-59, January 2020., 2020 Ecological systematic reviews and meta‐analyses have significantly increased our understanding of global biodiversity decline. However, for some ecological groups, incomplete and biased datasets have hindered our ability to construct robust, predictive models. One such group consists of the animal pollinators.

Approaches to disambiguating toponyms [PDF]
SIGSPATIAL Special, 2011 Many approaches have been proposed in recent years in the context of Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR), mostly in order to deal with geographically constrained information in un-structured texts. Most of these approaches share a common scheme: in order to disambiguate a toponym t with n ...

Complexity, 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 ...

Breaking the Semantic Silo: LLM-GIS Fusion for Context-aware Cultural Heritage Documentation [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesCultural heritage documents contain rich historical, social, and spatial information, yet their unstructured nature presents significant challenges for effective integration with Geographic Information Systems .

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 1173-1182, November 2019., 2019 Human spatial concepts, such as the concept of place, are not immediately translatable to the geometric foundations of spatial databases and information systems developed over the past 50 years. These systems typically rest on the concepts of objects and fields, both bound to coordinates, as two general paradigms of geographic representation. The match

Toponym Disambiguation in Information Retrieval [PDF]
, 2015 In recent years, geography has acquired a great importance in the context of Information Retrieval (IR) and, in general, of the automated processing of information in text. Mobile devices that are able to surf the web and at the same time inform about their position are now a common reality, together with applications that can exploit this data to ...
