Discovering Volatile Events in Your Neighborhood: Local-Area Topic Extraction from Blog Entries
This paper presents a method for the detection of occasional or volatile local events using topic extraction technologies. This is a new application of topic extraction technologies that has not been addressed in general locationbased services. A two-level hierarchical clustering method was applied to topics and their transitions using time-series blog entries collected with search queries including place names. According to experiments using 764 events from 37 locations in Tokyo and its vicinity, our method achieved 77.0% event findability. It was found that the number of blog entries in urban areas was sufficient for the extraction of topics, and the proposed method could extract typical volatile events, such as performances of music groups, and places of interest, such as popular restaurants.

Spatial Semantic Scan: Jointly Detecting Subtle Events and their Spatial Footprint
Many methods have been proposed for detecting emerging events in text streams using topic modeling. However, these methods have shortcomings that make them unsuitable for rapid detection of locally emerging events on mas…
Know What Your Neighbors Do: 3D Semantic Segmentation of Point Clouds
In this paper, we present a deep learning architecture which addresses the problem of 3D semantic segmentation of unstructured point clouds. Compared to previous work, we introduce grouping techniques which define point …

Air pollution has become a significant health risk in developing countries. While governments routinely publish air-quality index (AQI) data to track pollution, these values fail to capture the local reality, as sensors …
A Center in Your Neighborhood: Fairness in Facility Location
When selecting locations for a set of facilities, standard clustering algorithms may place unfair burden on some individuals and neighborhoods. We formulate a fairness concept that takes local population densities into a…
