通过聚类POI构建多尺度城市空间表示,提升地理分析效率与精度。

PlaceRep: Geospatial Place Representation Learning from Large-Scale Point-of-Interest Data

  • 基于空间与语义关联聚类POI,生成跨边界的城市场所表示
  • 在人口密度与房价预测任务中超越主流方法,速度提升100倍
  • 无需预训练,适合大规模城市空间分析场景

学习有效的城市环境表征需捕捉超出固定行政边界的时空结构。现有地理表征学习方法通常将兴趣点(POI)聚合到预定义的行政区域(如普查单元或邮政编码区),为每个区域分配单一嵌入向量。然而,POI常形成跨越、包含或超出这些边界的语义有意义群体,构成更符合人类活动与城市功能的“场所”。为此,我们提出PlaceRep,一种通过聚类空间与语义相关POI构建场所级表征的地理表征学习方法。PlaceRep从美国Foursquare的大规模POI图数据中提炼出通用的城市区域嵌入,同时自动识别多尺度场所。该方法无需模型预训练,为多粒度地理空间分析提供了可扩展、高效的解决方案。在人口密度估计与房价预测等下游任务中的实验表明,PlaceRep优于多数先进图基地理表征学习方法,并在大规模POI图上实现高达100倍的区域级表征生成加速。PlaceRep的实现代码已公开于https://github.com/mohammadhashemii/PlaceRep。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Learning effective representations of urban environments requires capturing spatial structure beyond fixed administrative boundaries. Existing geospatial representation learning approaches typically aggregate Points of Interest (POIs) into pre-defined administrative regions such as census units or ZIP code areas, assigning a single embedding to each region. However, POIs often form semantically meaningful groups that extend across, within, or beyond these boundaries, defining places that better reflect human activity and urban function. To address this limitation, we propose PlaceRep, a geospatial representation learning method that constructs place-level representations by clustering spatially and semantically related POIs. PlaceRep summarizes large-scale POI graphs from U.S. Foursquare data to produce general-purpose urban region embeddings while automatically identifying places across multiple spatial scales. By eliminating model pre-training, PlaceRep provides a scalable and efficient solution for multi-granular geospatial analysis. Experiments using the tasks of population density estimation and housing price prediction as downstream tasks show that PlaceRep outperforms most state-of-the-art graph-based geospatial representation learning methods and achieves up to a x100 speedup in generating region-level representations on large-scale POI graphs. The implementation of PlaceRep is available at https://github.com/mohammadhashemii/PlaceRep.
