构建地图实体表示学习统一框架,提升模型复用与评测效率
VecCity: A Taxonomy-guided Library for Map Entity Representation Learning
- 按功能模块而非实体类型重构地图表示学习分类体系
- 集成9城数据与21个主流模型,建立首个标准化评测基准
- 支持模块化扩展,适合地图智能、交通系统等研究者使用
电子地图包含兴趣点(POIs)、道路网络、地块等多种实体,在智能交通系统(ITS)和位置服务(LBS)中至关重要。地图实体表示学习(MapRL)生成通用可复用的数据表征,是高效管理地图数据的核心工具。然而,现有研究存在两大瓶颈:其一,模型按实体类型分散分类,跨任务复用性差;其二,缺乏统一评测基准,难以系统比较。为此,本文提出基于功能模块(如编码器、预训练任务、下游任务)的新分类体系,构建面向该体系的开源库VecCity。该库提供编码、预训练、微调与评估的统一接口,整合九座城市的地理数据,复现21个主流MapRL模型,建立首个标准化评测基准。用户可通过模块化组件灵活修改与扩展模型,实现无缝实验。全面实验覆盖多种地图实体,评估21个预置模型在多个下游任务上的表现,验证了该框架在加速模型开发方面的有效性,并揭示了不同组件对性能的影响。通过推动模块化设计与复用,VecCity为地图表示学习研究提供了统一平台。代码已开源:https://github.com/Bigscity-VecCity/VecCity。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Electronic maps consist of diverse entities, such as points of interest (POIs), road networks, and land parcels, playing a vital role in applications like ITS and LBS. Map entity representation learning (MapRL) generates versatile and reusable data representations, providing essential tools for efficiently managing and utilizing map entity data. Despite the progress in MapRL, two key challenges constrain further development. First, existing research is fragmented, with models classified by the type of map entity, limiting the reusability of techniques across different tasks. Second, the lack of unified benchmarks makes systematic evaluation and comparison of models difficult. To address these challenges, we propose a novel taxonomy for MapRL that organizes models based on functional module-such as encoders, pre-training tasks, and downstream tasks-rather than by entity type. Building on this taxonomy, we present a taxonomy-driven library, VecCity, which offers easy-to-use interfaces for encoding, pre-training, fine-tuning, and evaluation. The library integrates datasets from nine cities and reproduces 21 mainstream MapRL models, establishing the first standardized benchmarks for the field. VecCity also allows users to modify and extend models through modular components, facilitating seamless experimentation. Our comprehensive experiments cover multiple types of map entities and evaluate 21 VecCity pre-built models across various downstream tasks. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of VecCity in streamlining model development and provide insights into the impact of various components on performance. By promoting modular design and reusability, VecCity offers a unified framework to advance research and innovation in MapRL. The code is available at https://github.com/Bigscity-VecCity/VecCity.
