A Novel End-To-End Event Geolocation Method Leveraging Hyperbolic Space and Toponym Hierarchies
- 构建双模块端到端模型,结合双曲空间与地名层级优化特征
- 在中英文数据集上定位准确率超越现有方法12%以上
- 适合应急响应、资源调度等需高精度定位的场景
基于社交数据的事件及时检测与地理定位对危机应对和资源调配至关重要。然而,现有方法易受事件检测误差影响,导致定位不准。本文提出一种新型端到端事件地理定位方法(GTOP),融合双曲空间与地名层级结构。该方法包含事件检测与地理定位两模块:事件检测模块基于社交数据构建异构信息网络,生成同质消息图,并结合文本与时间特征学习节点初始表示;节点特征在双曲空间中更新后输入分类器进行事件检测。为降低定位误差,提出基于地名层级结构的噪声地名过滤算法(HIST):分析事件聚类中提及的地名层级,以高频城市级位置作为粗粒度事件位置,通过对比聚类内与粗粒度地名层级结构,过滤噪声地名。为进一步提升精度,提出细粒度伪地名生成算法(FIT),将生成的伪地名与过滤后的地名合并,基于其地理中心点完成事件定位。在自建中文数据集与公开英文数据集上开展大量实验,结果表明该方法显著优于当前最优基线。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Timely detection and geolocation of events based on social data can provide critical information for applications such as crisis response and resource allocation. However, most existing methods are greatly affected by event detection errors, leading to insufficient geolocation accuracy. To this end, this paper proposes a novel end-to-end event geolocation method (GTOP) leveraging Hyperbolic space and toponym hierarchies. Specifically, the proposed method contains one event detection module and one geolocation module. The event detection module constructs a heterogeneous information networks based on social data, and then constructs a homogeneous message graph and combines it with the text and time feature of the message to learning initial features of nodes. Node features are updated in Hyperbolic space and then fed into a classifier for event detection. To reduce the geolocation error, this paper proposes a noise toponym filtering algorithm (HIST) based on the hierarchical structure of toponyms. HIST analyzes the hierarchical structure of toponyms mentioned in the event cluster, taking the highly frequent city-level locations as the coarse-grained locations for events. By comparing the hierarchical structure of the toponyms within the cluster against those of the coarse-grained locations of events, HIST filters out noisy toponyms. To further improve the geolocation accuracy, we propose a fine-grained pseudo toponyms generation algorithm (FIT) based on the output of HIST, and combine generated pseudo toponyms with filtered toponyms to locate events based on the geographic center points of the combined toponyms. Extensive experiments are conducted on the Chinese dataset constructed in this paper and another public English dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the state-of-the-art baselines.
