• Title: Mordecai 3: A Neural Geoparser and Event Geocoder
• Authors: Andrew Halterman
• Abstract summary: Mordecai3 is a new end-to-end text geoparser and event geolocation system. It performs toponym resolution using a new neural ranking model to resolve a place name extracted from a document to its entry in the Geonames gazetteer. It also performs event geocoding, the process of linking events reported in text with the place names where they are reported to occur.

• Abstract: Mordecai3 is a new end-to-end text geoparser and event geolocation system. The system performs toponym resolution using a new neural ranking model to resolve a place name extracted from a document to its entry in the Geonames gazetteer. It also performs event geocoding, the process of linking events reported in text with the place names where they are reported to occur, using an off-the-shelf question-answering model. The toponym resolution model is trained on a diverse set of existing training data, along with several thousand newly annotated examples. The paper describes the model, its training process, and performance comparisons with existing geoparsers. The system is available as an open source Python library, Mordecai 3, and replaces an earlier geoparser, Mordecai v2, one of the most widely used text geoparsers (Halterman 2017).

  We propose a novel problem of worldwide video geolocalization with the objective of hierarchically predicting the correct city, state/province, country, and continent, given a video. No large scale video datasets that have extensive worldwide coverage exist, to train models for solving this problem. We introduce a new dataset, CityGuessr68k comprising of 68,269 videos from 166 cities all over the world.

  Worldwide Geo-localization aims to pinpoint the precise location of images taken anywhere on Earth. Existing approaches divide the globe into discrete geographic cells, transforming the problem into a classification task. We propose GeoCLIP, a novel CLIP-inspired Image-to-GPS retrieval approach that enforces alignment between the image and its corresponding GPS locations.
