Automatic Construction of a Large-Scale Corpus for Geoparsing Using Wikipedia Hyperlinks (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to evaluate geoparsing systems are small-scale and lack coverage of location expressions on general domains. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to construct a large-scale corpus for geoparsing from Wikipedia articles. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can annotate multiple location expressions with coordinates even with ambiguous expressions. |

Basreh or Basra? Geoparsing Historical Locations in the Svoboda Diaries (2024.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In the historical domain, many geoparsing corpora are from large news collections. |
| Approach: | They propose a pipeline employing named entity recognition for geotagging and a map-based generate-and-rank approach incorporating candidate name augmentation and clustering of location context words for geocoding. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline outperforms existing map-based geoparsers in terms of accuracy, lowest mean distance error, and number of locations correctly identified. |
Transforming Wikipedia into a Large-Scale Fine-Grained Entity Type Corpus (L18-1)
