Bridging Semantic and Geographic Space : Embedding-based Toponym Resolution in Historical Guidebooks
This thesis investigates the effectiveness of using contextual vector embeddings to disambiguate toponyms found in historical guidebooks. This is a crucial task in the study of tourism patterns throughout history, and to gain a deeper understanding of ...

User-Driven Toponym Disambiguation Using Dialogue [PDF]
Journal of Map and Geography Libraries, 2023 The paper presents a novel method for processing information with a spatial component or querying geospatial databases. It proposes an interactive toponym disambiguation method tailored especially for dialogue systems and chatbots. The method exploits the interactive nature of dialogues to resolve ambiguity by using dialogue clarification techniques, i.

Toponym Extraction and Disambiguation Enhancement Using Loops of Feedback [PDF]
Communications in Computer and Information Science, 2013 Toponym extraction and disambiguation 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.

A Hybrid Approach for Robust Multilingual Toponym Extraction and Disambiguation [PDF]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2013 Toponym extraction and disambiguation are key topics recently addressed by fields of Information Extraction and Geographical Information Retrieval. Toponym extraction and disambiguation are highly dependent processes. Not only toponym extraction effectiveness affects disambiguation, but also disambiguation results may help improving extraction accuracy.

Improving Toponym Extraction and Disambiguation Using Feedback Loop [PDF]
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 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.

An evidence-based approach for Toponym Disambiguation
2010 18th International Conference on Geoinformatics, 2010 Toponym Disambiguation (TD) in Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR) systems is a crucial technique, which makes a direct impact on the quality of subsequent assignment of geographic focus to a document and that of establishment of spatial index as well as the effectiveness of the entire retrieval model as a whole.

Toponym disambiguation in historical documents using semantic and geographic features
Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Digital Access to Textual Cultural Heritage, 2017 Historians are often interested in the locations mentioned in digitized collections. However, place names are highly ambiguous and may change over time, which makes it especially hard to automatically ground mentions of places in historical texts to their real-world referents.

A conceptual density‐based approach for the disambiguation of toponyms
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2008Nowadays, a huge quantity of information is stored in digital format. A great portion of this information is constituted by textual and unstructured documents, where geographical references are usually given by means of place names. A common problem with textual information retrieval is represented by polysemous words, that is, words can have more than
