Abstract: The task of textual geolocation - retrieving the coordinates of a place based on a free-form language description - calls for not only grounding but also natural language understanding and geospatial reasoning. Even though there are quite a few datasets in English used for geolocation, they are currently based on open-source data (Wikipedia and Twitter), where the location of the described place is mostly implicit, such that the location retrieval resolution is limited. Furthermore, there are no datasets available for addressing the problem of textual geolocation in morphologically rich and resource-poor languages, such as Hebrew. In this paper, we present the Hebrew Geo-Location (HeGeL) corpus, designed to collect literal place descriptions and analyze lingual geospatial reasoning. We crowdsourced 5,649 literal Hebrew place descriptions of various place types in three cities in Israel. Qualitative and empirical analysis show that the data exhibits abundant use of geospatial reasoning and requires a novel environmental representation.

GeoReasoner: Reasoning On Geospatially Grounded Context For Natural Language Understanding [0.32885740436059047]
GeoReasoner is a language model capable of reasoning on geospatially grounded natural language. It first leverages Large Language Models to generate a comprehensive location description based on linguistic inferences and distance information. It also encodes direction and distance information into spatial embedding via treating them as pseudo-sentences.

GeoCLIP: Clip-Inspired Alignment between Locations and Images for Effective Worldwide Geo-localization [61.10806364001535]
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.

G^3: Geolocation via Guidebook Grounding [92.46774241823562]
We study explicit knowledge from human-written guidebooks that describe the salient and class-discriminative visual features humans use for geolocation. We propose the task of Geolocation via Guidebook Grounding that uses a dataset of StreetView images from a diverse set of locations. Our approach substantially outperforms a state-of-the-art image-only geolocation method, with an improvement of over 5% in Top-1 accuracy.

Geographic Adaptation of Pretrained Language Models [29.81557992080902]
We introduce geoadaptation, an intermediate training step that couples language modeling with geolocation prediction in a multi-task learning setup. We show that the effectiveness of geoadaptation stems from its ability to geographically retrofit the representation space of the pretrained language models.

We investigate how language encodes and networks geographic information on the aboutness level of texts. Our study shows a Zipfian organization of the thematic universe in which geographical places are located in online communication. Places, whether close to each other or not, are located in neighboring places that span similarworks in the topic universe.
