Title: Extracting Spatial Interaction Patterns between Urban Road Networks and Mixed Functions
Authors: Huidan Xiao, Tao Yang
Abstract summary: The more mixed the functions of an area has, the more possible its vitality may be. Our study shows that the higher the degree of the road network structure has, the more likely it will attract functions' aggregation. It also reveals that diversified local degree will help gather urban functions.

Abstract: In the field of urban planning, road network system planning is often the first step and the main purpose of urban planning is to create a spatial configuration of different functions such as residence, education, business, etc. Generally speaking, the more mixed the functions of an area has, the more possible its vitality may be. Therefore, in this article, we propose a new framework to study the specific spatial influence patterns of the overall structure and different sub-structures of road networks on the mixed functions. Taking road segment as the basic unit, we characterize mixed functions aggregation of road networks with the number of POIs categories within 100 meters around every road segment. At the same time, on the basis of centrality measurement in graph theory, we use 4 indexes to reflect the characteristics of the urban road network structure, including degree, closeness, betweenness, and length. We conduct our methods and experiments using the road networks and POI data within the 5th ring road of Beijing. The results demonstrate that urban road networks inherently influence the aggregation of urban mixed functions in various patterns and the patterns of road network sub-structures is also quite different. Our study shows that the higher the degree of the road network structure has, the more likely it will attract functions' aggregation. It also reveals that diversified local degree will help gather urban functions. In addition to those, the analysis as well validates the importance of small-grids typology of urban road networks and the closeness to the center of cities.

Image Captioning via Dynamic Path Customization [100.15412641586525]
We propose a novel Dynamic Transformer Network (DTNet) for image captioning, which dynamically assigns customized paths to different samples, leading to discriminative yet accurate captions. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed DTNet, we conduct extensive experiments on the MS-COCO dataset and achieve new state-of-the-art performance.

A shape-based heuristic for the detection of urban block artifacts in street networks [0.0]
Street networks are ubiquitous components of cities, guiding their development and enabling movement from place to place. Their graph representation is often designed primarily for transportation purposes. This representation is less suitable for other use cases where transportation networks need to be simplified.

Urban Landscape from the Structure of Road Network: A Complexity Perspective [0.0]
We investigate the relationship between the spatial scale of the modelled network entities against the amount of useful information contained within it. We employ an entropy measure from complexity science and information theory to quantify the amount of information residing in each presentation of the network. We find the critical spatial scale to be 85 m, at which the network obtained corresponds very well to the planning boundaries used by the local urban planners.

Neural Embeddings of Urban Big Data Reveal Emergent Structures in Cities [7.148078723492643]
We propose using a neural embedding model-graph neural network (GNN)- that leverages the heterogeneous features of urban areas. Using large-scale high-resolution mobility data sets from millions of aggregated and anonymized mobile phone users in 16 metropolitan counties in the United States, we demonstrate that our embeddings encode complex relationships among features related to urban components. We show that embeddings generated by a model trained on a different county can capture 50% to 60% of the emergent spatial structure in another county.

SPIN Road Mapper: Extracting Roads from Aerial Images via Spatial and Interaction Space Graph Reasoning for Autonomous Driving [64.10636296274168]
Road extraction is an essential step in building autonomous navigation systems. Using just convolution neural networks (ConvNets) for this problem is not effective as it is inefficient at capturing distant dependencies between road segments in the image. We propose a Spatial and Interaction Space Graph Reasoning (SPIN) module which when plugged into a ConvNet performs reasoning over graphs constructed on spatial and interaction spaces projected from the feature maps.

Optimal transport in multilayer networks [68.8204255655161]
We propose a model where optimal flows on different layers contribute differently to the total cost to be minimized. As an application, we consider transportation networks, where each layer is associated to a different transportation system. We show an example of this result on the real 2-layer network of the city of Bordeaux with bus and tram, where in certain regimes the presence of the tram network significantly unburdens the traffic on the road network.
