• Title: GEO-BLEU: Similarity Measure for Geospatial Sequences
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel similarity measure, GEO-BLEU, which can be especially useful in the context of geospatial sequence modeling and generation. BLEU is one of the most popular measures used in machine translation research, while introducing spatial proximity to the idea of n-gram. We compare this measure with an established baseline, dynamic time warping, applying it to actual generated geospatial sequences.

• Abstract: In recent geospatial research, the importance of modeling large-scale human mobility data via self-supervised learning is rising, in parallel with progress in natural language processing driven by self-supervised approaches using large-scale corpora. Whereas there are already plenty of feasible approaches applicable to geospatial sequence modeling itself, there seems to be room to improve with regard to evaluation, specifically about how to measure the similarity between generated and reference sequences. In this work, we propose a novel similarity measure, GEO-BLEU, which can be especially useful in the context of geospatial sequence modeling and generation. As the name suggests, this work is based on BLEU, one of the most popular measures used in machine translation research, while introducing spatial proximity to the idea of n-gram. We compare this measure with an established baseline, dynamic time warping, applying it to actual generated geospatial sequences. Using crowdsourced annotated data on the similarity between geospatial sequences collected from over 12,000 cases, we quantitatively and qualitatively show the proposed method's superiority.

  Metrics for probability measures, such as Wasserstein and maximum mean discrepancy, are commonly used to quantify the differences between such distributions. Persistent homology is a tool from topological data analysis which quantifies the multi-scale topological structure of point clouds. We propose the use of principal persistence measures, based on computing the persistent homology of a large number of small subsamples, as a topological regularizer.
