• Abstract summary: This dataset is valuable for analyzing area functions in fields such as market analysis, urban planning, transportation infrastructure, and infection prediction. It captures the characteristics of each area in the city, such as office districts and residential areas, by employing an area embedding technique. We publicly release this anchor dataset along with area embedding datasets from several periods in eight major Japanese cities.

• Abstract: We publicly release OpenUAS, a dataset of area embeddings based on urban usage patterns, including embeddings for over 1.3 million 50-meter square meshes covering a total area of 3,300 square kilometers. This dataset is valuable for analyzing area functions in fields such as market analysis, urban planning, transportation infrastructure, and infection prediction. It captures the characteristics of each area in the city, such as office districts and residential areas, by employing an area embedding technique that utilizes location information typically obtained by GPS. Numerous area embedding techniques have been proposed, and while the public release of such embedding datasets is technically feasible, it has not been realized. One reason for this is that previous methods could not embed areas from different cities and periods into the same embedding space without sharing raw location data. We address this issue by developing an anchoring method that establishes anchors within a shared embedding space. We publicly release this anchor dataset along with area embedding datasets from several periods in eight major Japanese cities.

  Area usage is subject to change over time due to various events including seasonal shifts and pandemics. There are many existing studies on area modeling, which characterize an area with some kind of information. We propose a novel area modeling method named Area2Vec, inspired by Word2Vec, which models areas based on people's location data.

  The datasets include simulated pathloss/received signal strength ( RSS) and time of arrival ( ToA) radio maps over a large collection of realistic dense urban setting in real city maps. The two main applications of the presented dataset are 1) learning methods that predict the pathloss from input city maps, and, 2) wireless localization. The fact that the RSS and ToA maps are computed by the same simulations over the same city maps allows for a fair comparison of the RSS and ToA-based localization methods.

We consider the suitability of this data not just on its own but also as a source of data in combination with demographic features, thus providing a realistic use case for the embeddings.

• Sketch and Scale: Geo-distributed tSNE and UMAP [75.44887265789056]
  Running machine learning analytics over geographically distributed datasets is a rapidly arising problem. We introduce a novel framework: Sketch and Scale (SnS) It leverages a Count Sketch data structure to compress the data on the edge nodes, aggregates the reduced size sketches on the master node, and runs vanilla tSNE or UMAP on the summary. We show this technique to be fully parallel, scale linearly in time, logarithmically in memory, and communication, making it possible to analyze datasets with many millions, potentially billions of data points, spread across several data centers around the globe.
