Improving Toponym Disambiguation by Iteratively Enhancing Certainty of Extraction.
Proceedings of the International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Information Retrieval, 2012 Named entity extraction (NEE) and disambiguation (NED) have received much attention in recent years. Typical fields addressing these topics are information retrieval, natural language processing, and semantic web. This paper addresses two problems with toponym extraction and disambiguation (as a representative example of named entities).

Increased Significance of Global Concurrent Hazards From 1981 to 2020
Earth's Future, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2024.Abstract The spatiotemporal overlap of multiple hazards defines what we call concurrent hazards, which usually cause more severe damage than what an isolated hazard would. Investigations of concurrent hazards at the global scale are limited. Here we first developed a novel criterion system for identifying concurrent hazards and then recognized 1,614 ...

Resolving fine granularity toponyms: Evaluation of a disambiguation approach [PDF]
, 2012 We present an approach of toponym disambiguation specialised on toponyms of fine spatial granularity. State of the art disambiguation approaches have manly focused on toponyms referring to populated places where a priori toponym knowledge is available for instance from gazetteers.

Mapping cognitive place associations within the United Kingdom through online discussion on Reddit
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2024.Short Abstract This paper explores cognitive place associations; conceptualised as a place‐based mental model that derives subconscious links between geographic locations. Utilising a large corpus of online discussion data from the social media website Reddit, we experiment on the extraction of such geographic knowledge from unstructured text.

Should We Ask an LLM? Evaluating Toponym Disambiguation across Administrative Levels
AGILE: GIScience SeriesAbstract. Toponym disambiguation, determining which real-world location a place name refers to, is a critical step in geoparsing pipelines, yet existing evaluations mix disambiguation quality with the behavior of downstream geocoders through distance-based metrics.
