Localities, PSAPs, GIS staff, contractors, and PDCs across the commonwealth are working to prepare and maintain GIS data for 9-1-1 as they go live and maintain data for Next Generation 9-1-1, asking questions like:- How do I get access to the EGDMS system?- What happens if my PSAP boundary goes outside my provisioning boundary?- How will my ESNs work in the new environment? - Do I need Law, Fire, and EMS Emergency Service Boundary layers?- What addressing processes and best practices help me maintain GIS address points at 9-1-1 quality standards?- How will the new National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) datums affect NG9-1-1?- What are some good strategies for automating my data preparation and load process?- How often should I complete maintenance uploads to NG9-1-1 once my PSAP is live?- How does MSAG and ALI maintenance change after my PSAP is live and how long will it stay this way?- What are NENA standards work groups working on relating to GIS?- Is there any new action from the FCC regarding location, accuracy, and call delivery?- What makes a good address? In other words, questions about:- How will this work?- How do we...?- What do I do with...?The 9-1-1 & Geospatial Services Bureau hosts live "user group" discussion and Q&A sessions on webex once a month where we will answer questions like these that have come in and questions you come up with. Rather than a presentation or document, we see the benefit of discussing your examples, situations, and scenarios in a group environment so all involved can move forward with confidence. Save up your questions or send them ahead of time to matt.gerike@vdem.virginia.gov and join the conversation.If you have a specific situation, be ready to share your screen!Important: If you have a pressing question that is holding you up, let us know as well so we get you a response rather than holding it.Upcoming SessionsWednesday, Jan 8, 2025 2:00 pm | 1 hour | (UTC-04:00) Eastern Time (US &

All data released with this set of geological maps is public domain data. The project has, however, benefited from a number of additional third-party data sources which have been used to help inform final maps and/or derive interpreted products. These include the 21CXRM Palaeozoic project (which is now available in the public domain),the Southern Permian Basin Atlas (SPBA),PGS’s North Sea Digital Atlas and East Shetland Platform seismic interpretation project, Frogtech’s East Shetland Platform Project, IGI’s Source Rock Evaluation for the East Shetland Platform, research data from the University of Aberdeen, seismic interpretation work and other geological studies carried out by Durham University on the SW Approaches, seismic interpretation work carried out by Heriot-Watt University on the Mid North Sea High, seismic interpretation work carried out by Aberdeen University on the Rockall area CGG’s Target database and relevant products available via the BGS’s Offshore Geoindex. TGS are gratefully acknowledged for providing joined digital log data from LogLinePlus to enable the production of sand flag curves. Schlumberger, TGS and BP are acknowledged for providing additional seismic data to help QC interpretation carried out within the project and CDA are also kindly acknowledged for their support in downloading and providing much of the released well data to LR as part of this project. Due to the high level, regional nature of the project, the depth structure and structural elements maps have been produced for the main geological time intervals, e.g. Paleocene, Lower Cretaceous, Upper Jurassic. Depositional facies maps and reservoir distribution maps were produced for a higher number of stratigraphic intervals such as the Danian, Selandian and Thanetian (Paleocene).

As part of the NSTA’s published 2018/19 Activity Plan, the NSTA is publishing a set of regional geological maps for the West of Shetland and West of Hebrides. These maps represent the seventh set of deliverables from a 3 year contract with Lloyd’s Register (LR) to produce a series of maps and associated databases for the whole of the UKCS.

This deep learning model is used to identify or categorize entities in unstructured text. An entity may refer to a word or a sequence of words such as the name of “Organizations,” “Persons,” “Country,” or “Date” and “Time” in the text. This model detects entities from the given text and classifies them into pre-determined categories.

Named entity recognition (NER) is useful when a high-level overview of a large quantity of text is required. NER can let you know crucial and important information in text by extracting the main entities from it. The extracted entities are categorized into pre-determined classes and can help in drawing meaningful decisions and conclusions.

Using the model

Follow the guide to use the model. Before using this model, ensure that the supported deep learning libraries are installed. For more details, check the Deep Learning Libraries Installer for ArcGIS.

Fine-tuning the model

This model cannot be fine-tuned using ArcGIS tools.

Input

Text files on which named entity extraction will be performed.

Output

Classified tokens into the following pre-defined entity classes:

PERSON – People, including fictional NORP – Nationalities or religious or political groups FACILITY – Buildings, airports, highways, bridges, etc. ORGANIZATION – Companies, agencies, institutions, etc. GPE – Countries, cities, states LOCATION – Non-GPE locations, mountain ranges, bodies of water PRODUCT – Vehicles, weapons, foods, etc. (Not services) EVENT – Named hurricanes, battles, wars, sports events, etc. WORK OF ART – Titles of books, songs, etc. LAW – Named documents made into laws LANGUAGE – Any named language DATE – Absolute or relative dates or periods TIME – Times smaller than a day PERCENT – Percentage (including “%”) MONEY – Monetary values, including unit QUANTITY – Measurements, as of weight or distance ORDINAL – “first,” “second” CARDINAL – Numerals that do not fall under another type

Model architecture

This model uses the XLM-RoBERTa architecture implemented in Hugging Face transformers using the TNER library.

Accuracy metrics

This model has an accuracy of 91.6 percent.

Training dataThe model has been trained on the OntoNotes Release 5.0 dataset.

Sample resultsHere are a few results from the model.

What is the City doing? The City is developing a planning vision to bring together opportunities in the City’s key areas of focus and position Brampton as a future city and a hub for jobs and innovation. In other words, it aims to set Brampton apart from other suburban cities as a model city that people are proud to call home. The work focuses on understanding what Brampton can – and will be – in 25+ years, and how to get there.Why should it matter to me?Brampton has the right ingredients to be a future ready city. From a diverse, rapidly growing population, to a key position on the innovation super-corridor, we’ve got a lot going for us. We’re thinking bigger about our brilliant future – but to really be successful, we need your bright ideas. This is your city, and it’s important for us to know what its future looks like to you.
