Road Segment Identification in Natural Language Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a technique to extract geographic location information from a natural language description of a location. The technique relies on a set of domain specific tags and a set of keywords. The tags are used to identify roads, intersections, and landmarks. Tag combinations are used to discover road segments. The technique is applied to understanding highway construction reports for the Canadian Province of Ontario.

Offline Language-free Writer Identification based on Speeded-up Robust Features
This article proposes offline language-free writer identification based on speeded-up robust features (SURF), goes through training, enrollment, and identification stages. In all stages, an isotropic Box filter is first used to segment the handwritten text image into word regions (WRs). Then, the SURF descriptors (SUDs) of word region and the corresponding scales and orientations (SOs) are extr...
متن کاملIdentification of High Crash Road Segment using Genetic Algorithm and Dynamic Segmentation
This paper presents an evolutionary algorithm for recognizing high and low crash road segments using Genetic Algorithm as a dynamic segmentation method. Social and economic costs as well as physical and mental injuries make the governments perceiving to road safety indexes in order to diminish the consequences of road accidents. Due to the limitation of budget for safety...

Introduction: as a component of the urban landscape, road sign systems are among the most critical elements of urban environments. Generally speaking, the written signs dominate the design of these systems. These signs can also foster aesthetic and visual pleasure compellingly and innovatively. Furthermore, they perpetuate a specific image in the minds of their observers. This research seeks to...
متن کاملAmbiguity Identification and Measurement in Natural Language Texts
Text ambiguity is one of the most interesting phenomenon in human communication and a difficult problem in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Identification of text ambiguities is an important task for evaluating the quality of text and uncovering its vulnerable points. There exist several types of ambiguity. In the present work we review and compare different approaches to ambiguity identifica...
متن کاملBuilding a Parallel Spatio-Temporal Data-Text Corpus for Summary Generation
We describe a corpus of naturally occurring road ice weather forecasts and the associated weather prediction data they are based upon. We also show how observations from an analysis of this corpus have been applied to build a prototype Natural Language Generation (NLG) system for producing road ice forecasts. While this corpus occurs in a narrow domain, it has much wider applicability due to th...
