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 ...

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).
