• Abstract: Geo-tagged tweets can potentially help with sensing the interaction of people with their surrounding environment. Based on this hypothesis, this paper makes use of geotagged tweets in order to ascertain various land uses with a broader goal to help with urban/city planning. The proposed method utilises supervised learning to reveal spatial land use within cities with the help of Twitter activity signatures. Specifically, the technique involves using tweets from three cities of Australia namely Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. Analytical results are checked against the zoning data provided by respective city councils and a good match is observed between the predicted land use and existing land zoning by the city councils. We show that geo-tagged tweets contain features that can be useful for land use identification.

  We present GeoLLM, a novel method that can effectively extract geospatial knowledge from large language models. We demonstrate the utility of our approach across multiple tasks of central interest to the international community, including the measurement of population density and economic livelihoods. Our experiments reveal that LLMs are remarkably sample-efficient, rich in geospatial information, and robust across the globe.

• Where did you tweet from? Inferring the origin locations of tweets based on contextual information [0.2320417845168326]
  Less than 1% of tweets are geotagged; in both cases--point location or bounding place information. A major issue with tweets is that Twitter users can be at location A and exchange conversations specific to location B. We propose a framework that uses machine-level natural language understanding to identify tweets that conceivably contain their origin location information.
