ATD-Trans: A Geographically Grounded Japanese-English Travelogue Translation Dataset
Geographic text, or textual data rich in geographic (geo-) information is a valuable source for various geographic applications, e.g., tourism management. Making such information accessible to speakers of other languages further enhances its utility; thus, accurate machine translation (MT) is essential for equity in multilingual geo-information access. To facilitate in-depth analysis for geographic text, we introduce ATD-Trans, a geographically grounded Japanese--English travelogue translation dataset, which enables evaluation of MT quality at both the overall and geo-entity levels across domestic (within Japan) and overseas regions. Our experiments on existing language models examine two factors: model language focus and geographic regions. The results highlight advantages of Japanese-enhanced models and greater difficulty in translating domestic-region geo-entities mentioned in travel blogs.

Arukikata Travelogue Dataset
We have constructed Arukikata Travelogue Dataset and released it free of charge for academic research. This dataset is a Japanese text dataset with a total of over 31 million words, comprising 4,672 Japanese domestic tra…
Arukikata Travelogue Dataset with Geographic Entity Mention, Coreference, and Link Annotation
Geoparsing is a fundamental technique for analyzing geo-entity information in text. We focus on document-level geoparsing, which considers geographic relatedness among geo-entity mentions, and presents a Japanese travelo…
Graph-Structured Trajectory Extraction from Travelogues
Previous studies on sequence-based extraction of human movement trajectories have an issue of inadequate trajectory representation. Specifically, a pair of locations may not be lined up in a sequence especially when one …
Models of Visually Grounded Speech Signal Pay Attention To Nouns: a Bilingual Experiment on English and Japanese
We investigate the behaviour of attention in neural models of visually grounded speech trained on two languages: English and Japanese. Experimental results show that attention focuses on nouns and this behaviour holds tr…
