Resolving Spatial References using Crowdsourced Geographical Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a study in which we seek to interpret spatial references that are part of in-situ route descriptions. Our aim is to resolve these references to actual entities and places in the city using a crowdsourced geographic database (OpenStreetMap). We discuss the problems related to this task, and present a possible automatic reference resolution method that can find the correct referent in 68% of the cases using features that are easily computable from the map.
