RS5M

File Explaination

1. pub11_NER_geolocation_info.csv

• This file provides extracted geolocation entities in caption. we discovered that the captions from the PUB11 dataset contain a significant amount of location information. As a result, we executed a NER (Named Entity Recognition) extraction on the PUB11 subset.

• We hypothesize that the location information in the captions is closely related to the image's content and its shooting location. While this might introduce some noise, given that most PUB11 images originate from the internet and the paired text's purpose is to supplement the image, we believe most of the location data is useful.

• We specifically extracted entities labeled as "GPE" (geopolitical entities). However, most of these entities are country or city names, not UTM zones or latitude/longitude details. While city names can be readily converted to UTM zones, captions containing only country names provide us with coarse spatial information. Nonetheless, this is a valuable addition to our analysis of RS5M's geographic distribution.

• Out of the dataset, 880,354 images have captions with location information. We took the NER tool from the NLTK implementation. We also tried Stanford NER models, but the estimated processing time was 900 hours. In the future, we plan to develop an algorithm to convert extracted GPEs to UTM zones if applicable.

  yfcc14m_27151	There are lots of unique stones laying around. A few distinct types... numerous white round stones, as seen on the right. Also there's lots of crystall-y flakey rock, like the large one on the lower left. It doesn't come out in this photo, but it reflects light quite well. It's clearly man-made. Look at it in the satellite imagery (link below). Seriously. There used to be a building on the top. You can tell it's man made by the way the rocks and dirt are piled. None of the locals I've interviewed have any idea who put it there. It's been there for as long as any of them have a verbal history. What we do know is there's lots of pottery shards... thousands of them. Last time we were here some of the locals told us after it rains kids search the mound and sometimes find old coins. Further questioning got nowhere. Dave and I like to hike here, it's got a great view of the valley. This time we found a guy at the top digging for artifacts, and he found one while we were there. It was a large clay bead with designs in it. He offered to sell it to us... and while I wanted to I didn't because we 1) don't want to reward that behavior and 2) it's bad form and if it isn't it should be illegal.
