Integrating Data from Maps on the World-Wide Web
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract. A substantial amount of data about geographical entities is available on the World-Wide Web, in the form of digital maps. This paper investigates the integration of such data. A three-step integration process is presented. First, geographical objects are retrieved from Maps on the Web. Secondly, pairs of objects that represent the same real-world entity, in different maps, are discovered and the information about them is combined. Finally, selected objects are presented to the user. The proposed process is efficient, accurate (i.e., the discovery of corresponding objects has high recall and precision) and it can be applied to any pair of digital maps, without requiring the existence of specific attributes. For the step of discovering corresponding objects, three new algorithms are presented. These algorithms modify existing methods that use only the locations of geographical objects, so that information additional to locations will be utilized in the process. The three algorithms are compared using experiments on datasets with varying levels of completeness and accuracy. It is shown that when used correctly, additional information can improve the accuracy of location-based methods even when the data is not complete or not entirely accurate. 1

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
