• Title: Spatial Entity Resolution between Restaurant Locations and Transportation Destinations in Southeast Asia
• Authors: Emily Gao, Dominic Widdows
• Abstract summary: This paper attempts to recognize identical place entities from databases of Points-of-Interest (POI) and GrabFood restaurants. POI-restaurant matching was conducted separately for Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Experimental estimates demonstrate that a matching POI can be found for over 35% of restaurants in these countries.

• Abstract: As a tech company, Grab has expanded from transportation to food delivery, aiming to serve Southeast Asia with hyperlocalized applications. Information about places as transportation destinations can help to improve our knowledge about places as restaurants, so long as the spatial entity resolution problem between these datasets can be solved. In this project, we attempted to recognize identical place entities from databases of Points-of-Interest (POI) and GrabFood restaurants, using their spatial and textual attributes, i.e., latitude, longitude, place name, and street address. Distance metrics were calculated for these attributes and fed to tree-based classifiers. POI-restaurant matching was conducted separately for Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Experimental estimates demonstrate that a matching POI can be found for over 35% of restaurants in these countries. As part of these estimates, test datasets were manually created, and RandomForest, AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost perform well, with most accuracy, precision, and recall scores close to or higher than 90% for matched vs. unmatched classification. To the authors' knowledge, there are no previous published scientific papers devoted to matching of spatial entities for the Southeast Asia region.

  This work proposes a region attention scheme for modelling long-range dependencies by building a correlation among different regions within an input image. The proposed Region Attention network for Food items and Agricultural stress recognition method, dubbed RAFA-Net, has been experimented on three public food datasets. The highest top-1 accuracies of RAFA-Net are 91.69%, 91.56%, and 96.97% on the UECFood-100, UECFood-256, and MAFood-121 datasets, respectively.

  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.

  We propose a machine learning-based approach for parcel-level urban land use mapping. We first divide the city into built-up and non-built-up regions based on parcels generated from road networks. We then adopt different classification strategies for parcels in different regions, and finally combine the classified results into an integrated land use map.

  We propose a novel network architecture in which a primary network maintains the base accuracy of classifying an input image. An auxiliary network adversarially mines discriminative food regions, and a region network classifies the resulting mined regions. The proposed architecture denoted as PAR-Net is end-to-end trainable, and highlights discriminative regions in an online fashion.
