GAO Yong, MENG Haohan, YE Chao
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2023, 59 (3): 434-444.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2023.002

Geographic knowledge graph representation learning requires generating the corresponding negative samples based on the positive ones. However, traditional negative sample generation algorithms suffer from high error rate and poor adaption to geographic knowledge graph. Aimming at this problem, a spatially constraint negative sample generation method was proposed by modifying the modeling of spatial relations. Then the method was applied to different knowledge graph representation learning models to explore its suitability in geographic knowledge graph embedding. Results show that the proposed method has a low error rate and is suitable for two common types of knowledge graph representation models. The spatially constraint negative sample generation method will improve the accuracy of geographic knowledge graph representation learning, which helps to advance geographical research.

LI Ranhao, GONG Shize, GAO Yong
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2021, 57 (5): 875-884.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2021.065
Abstract742)   HTML    PDF(pc) (2484KB)(195)       Save
With the purpose of analyzing the spatial distribution and fairness of public service facilities in Beijing, Gauss two-step floating catchment area method is applied to assess the accessibility within the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing in 5 dimensions, including education, healthcare, commerce, transportation, and culture leisure service, and the weighted composite accessibility is calculated. Then, hedonic price model is adopted to further analyze the impact of public service facilities accessibility on housing prices. It is found that the accessibility of public service facilities is unevenly distributed, and most resources are concentrated on certain district. The accessibility of education and healthcare service is significantly higher in the central urban area than that in other regions, and commerce accessibility in the eastern area is higher than that in the western. Transportation and culture leisure resources are relatively scattered. There is a significant positive impact of healthcare and transportation accessibility on housing price, a significant negative impact of commerce accessibility and no significant effect of education and culture leisure accessibility on housing price. The comprehensive accessibility is also proved to have a significant positive impact on housing price. These results provide support for urban planning, especially for the rational distribution of public service facilities.

A Qualitative Method for Geographic Information Retrieval
GAO Yong, JIANG Dan, LIU Lei, LIN Xing, WU Lun
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2016, 52 (2): 265-273.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2015.113
Abstract1131)   HTML    PDF(pc) (511KB)(960)       Save

A qualitative method is presented for geographic information retrieval (GIR) to support qualitative representation, semantic matching, reasoning and ranking. The novel approach can avoid semantic information lost in current quantitative GIR methods. Information in documents and user queries are represented by propositional logic, which considers the thematic and geographic semantics synthetically. The similarity between documents and queries can be divided into thematic similarity and geographic similarity. The former is calculated by the weighted distance of proposition keywords in domain ontology, and the latter is further divided into conceptual similarity and location similarity which are measured by geo-ontology and spatial semantic respectively. Represented by propositions and information units, the similarity measurement takes evidence theory and fuzzy logic to obtain a general similarity from all sub similarities. This novel method retrieves qualitative geographic information from web and ranks documents semantically, which is consistent with commonsense, and thus can improve the efficiency of geographic information retrieval technology.

The authors present a new approach for modeling qualitative geographic information retrieval based on the qualitative representation, semantic matching and qualitative reasoning methods. Information in web document and user queries are represented and extracted by a new qualitative method considering the thematic and geographic semantics synthetically. The novel retrieval method is used to retrieve the qualitative geographic information to support the semantic matching and results ranking. Finally, a prototype system is implemented to evaluate this research. Through these works, the geographic information retrieval technology is much adaptive to human commonsense cognition and behaviors. The efficiency of geographic information retrieval is improved with the qualitative representation and qualitative spatial reasoning method.

A Landmark-Based Linear Referencing Method
GAO Yong,ZHANG Jing,ZHANG Yi,LIU Yu
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis   
Abstract728)            Save
The traditional linear referencing methods utilize network nodes as the references, but positioning and way finding in linear networks are always referenced by landmarks in common sense. Based on landmarks, a new linear referencing method is presented. Landmarks are adopted into alinear network by defining their projections to substitute network nodes as the referenced originpoints. And a landmark-based network Voronoi diagramis constructed. Then any point on the network can be linear referenced relatively by its Voronoi generator using a pair of the neighbor landmark and their shortest path. This landmark-based linear referencing method is proved sound, complete, and unique except the boundaries. It is coordinated to the human’s commonsense spatial cognation and straightforward to be understood and utilized. This method can also support many complex GIS applications such as route cognition, wayfinding, k-nearest neighbor search, and retail stores analysis, etc.

On Vagueness of Cardinal Direction Relationshipsin Difference Cognitive Scenarios
JIN Xin,GENG Haiyan,GAO Yong,LIU Yu
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis   
Abstract517)            Save
Many spatial relationships are inherently associated with vagueness. Much research on vagueness is conducted based on cognitive experiments. Three cognitive experiments, which perform agreement task, verbal description task, and drawing task, are designed and implemented to investigate three types of vagueness in perceptions and communications of cardinal direction relationships. Generally, if a spatial relationship is crisp, the three tasks will lead to the same result. However, if a spatial relationship and its conceptually neighboring relationship are both vague, the subjects will make different answer sin the above three tasks. In this research, the concept of “north”and its neighboring concepts, i.e., “east”and “west”, are focused on. According to the collected data, three types of vagueness: normal vagueness, selective vagueness, and pragmatic vagueness, are identified, and their conceptual membership functions are established. These three types of vagueness demonstrate different characteristics, and will cause semantic distortions in communicating geospatial knowledge.

Spatio Temporal Topological Relation Modeling of Moving Objects
GAO Yong,ZHANG Jing,ZHU Xiaoxi,LIU Yu
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis   
Abstract775)            Save
Researches on spatio temporal characteristics of moving objects gained more and more attentions because of the increasing application demands. Spatio temporal topological relation, one of the main topics about moving objects, contributes much to such researches on data model, index and query, etc. Aimed to planar moving objects in Euclidean space, a time sliced date model is presented firstly. Then based on the point set theory, a qualitative model about spatio temporal topological relations between moving objects is defined. The temporal relation and spatial relation are expressed by the 9 Intersection model separately, and then the sptio temporal topological relation is defined as their combination considering the dynamic behavior of moving objects. To compute the spatio temporal topological relations, the validation, computability and computation rules about this model are given as well. This model can aggregately express the spatial distribution and temporal evolvement of moving objects, especially the dynamic characteristics. And it will conduce to researches about moving objects databases and spatio temporal query.

Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis   
Abstract591)            Save
Complex spatial processes are always involved in large GIS applications. A well-defined spatial process helps to the modeling and implementation of spatial applications to achieve more effective plans and managements. By ana lyzing the main characteristics, the formalized definition and the meta-model of spatial process are presented. A spatial process is mapped to a directed graph with spatial activity nodes and process data nodes linked by flows. These elements and their relationships drive the control flows and data flows within the context of spatial application logic. To maintain the validity and compatibility and prevent the incorrect information and process logic, integrity constraints of spatial processes are also discussed, in which spatial semantic constraints play the core role. As a result, spatial process modeling can be well standardiz ed and supported. And workflow technologies can be integrated to manage and control complex GIS applications.

Abstract808)            Save
AMORE 2001 has successfully investigated the Gakkel Ridge and Arctic ocean in vicinity of its geological and geophysical nature, as well as the nature of sea ice and biology in this area. The preliminary onboard petrology and bathymetry results show that the mantle beneath the Gakkel ridge with low temperature has only encountered very low degree partial melting during the spreading and there is no any direct relationship between the crust nature and the spreading rate along the Gakkel ridge in any simple petrologic way. Mantle temperature and fracture zone density also play a major role on the crust nature, besides spreading rate.
