Increasing popularity of social networks made them a viable data source for many data mining applications and event detection is no exception. Researchers aim not only to find events that happen in networks but more importantly to identify and locate events occurring in the real world.In this paper, we propose an enhanced version of quadtree - convolutional quadtree (ConvTree) - and demonstrate its advantage compared to the standard quadtree. We also introduce the algorithm for searching events of different scales using geospatial data obtained from social networks. The algorithm is based on statistical analysis of historical data, generation of ConvTrees representing the normal state of the city and anomalies evaluation for events detection.Experimental study conducted on the dataset of 60 million geotagged Instagram posts in the New York City area demonstrates that the proposed approach is able to find a wide range of events from very local (indie band concert or wedding party) to city (baseball game or holiday march) and even country scale (political protest or Christmas) events. This opens up a perspective of building simple and fast yet powerful system for real-time multiscale events monitoring.

Spatial association rule mining (SARM) is an important data mining task for understanding implicit and sophisticated interactions in spatial data. The usefulness of SARM results, represented as sets of rules, depends on their reliability: the abundance of rules, control over the risk of spurious rules, and accuracy of rule interestingness measure (RIM) values. This study presents crisp-fuzzy SARM, a novel SARM method that can enhance the reliability of resultant rules. The method firstly prunes dubious rules using statistically sound tests and crisp supports for the patterns involved, and then evaluates RIMs of accepted rules using fuzzy supports. For the RIM evaluation stage, the study also proposes a Gaussian-curve-based fuzzy data discretization model for SARM with improved design for spatial semantics. The proposed techniques were evaluated by both synthetic and real-world data. The synthetic data was generated with predesigned rules and RIM values, thus the reliability of SARM results could be confidently and quantitatively evaluated. The proposed techniques showed high efficacy in enhancing the reliability of SARM results in all three aspects. The abundance of resultant rules was improved by 50% or more compared with using conventional fuzzy SARM. Minimal risk of spurious rules was guaranteed by statistically sound tests. The probability that the entire result contained any spurious rules was below 1%. The RIM values also avoided large positive errors committed by crisp SARM, which typically exceeded 50% for representative RIMs. The real-world case study on New York City points of interest reconfirms the improved reliability of crisp-fuzzy SARM results, and demonstrates that such improvement is critical for practical spatial data analytics and decision support.

TwitterThese geospatial files are the essential components for the Geologic Map of the Stibnite Mining Area in Valley County, Idaho, which was published by the Idaho Geological Survey in 2022. Three main file types are in this dataset: geographic, geologic, and mining. Geographic files are map extent, lidar base, topographic contours, labels for contours, waterways, and roads. Geologic files are geologic map units, faults, structural lines meaning axial traces, structural points like bedding strike and dip locations, cross section lines, and drill core sample locations. Lastly, mining files are disturbed ground features including open pit polygons or outlines, and general mining features such as the location of an adit. File formats are shape, layer, or raster. Of the 14 shapefiles, 7 have layer files that provide pre-set symbolization for use in ESRI ArcMap that match up with the Geologic Map of the Stibnite Mining Area in Valley County, Idaho. The lidar data have two similar, but distinct, raster format types (ESRI GRID and TIFF) intended to increase end user accessibility. This dataset is a compilation of both legacy data (from Smitherman’s 1985 masters thesis published in 1988, Midas Gold Corporation employees, the Geologic Map of the Stibnite Quadrangle (Stewart and others, 2016) and Reed S. Lewis of the Idaho Geological Survey) and new data from 2013, 2015, and 2016 field work by Niki E. Wintzer.

Three semi-automated detection approaches using Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) have been performed to identify artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) riverine dredges on the Madeira River in Brazil. The methods are: i) Search for Unidentified Maritime Objects (SUMO), an established method for large ocean ship detection; and two techniques specifically developed for riverine environments: ii) a local detection method; and iii) a global threshold method. The results from each method are contained on this landing page along with the visual interpretation dataset of SAR data used as the validation dataset. The pre-processed SAR data used to produce these results are found also found on this page.

This paper uses text data mining to identify long-term developments in tourism academic research from the perspectives of thematic focus, geography, and gender of tourism authorship. Abstracts of papers published in the period of 1970–2017 in high-ranking tourist journals were extracted from the Scopus database and served as data source for the analysis. Fourteen subject areas were identified using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) text mining approach. LDA integrated with GIS information allowed to obtain geography distribution and trends of scholarly output, while probabilistic methods of gender identification based on social network data mining were used to track gender dynamics with sufficient confidence. The findings indicate that, while all 14 topics have been prominent from the inception of tourism studies to the present day, the geography of scholarship has notably expanded and the share of female authorship has increased through time and currently almost equals that of male authorship.
