A social media geolocation method based on comparative learning by Yongchang XU, Shiduo HUANG, Haojun AI

“…Previous work on social media text-based geolocation focused on mapping language semantic space to geospatial space, which ignores the semantic correlation between social media texts and the distance correlation between geographical locations.To take advantage of these correlations, mCLF, a new unsupervised multiple-level contrastive learning framework was proposed, three contrastive learning modules were designed: a semantic learning module, a location learning module, and a cross-learning module.Transformer encoder was used to obtain semantic representation of posts, utilizing unsupervised contrastive learning method to decrease the distance of semantic representations and location representations of posts with near locations, and then fine-tuned the model with supervised method for geographic location regression or classification outputs.Compared with five baseline methods, extensive experiments based on four datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.…”

Convergence Analysis of Iterative Learning Control for Two Classes of 2-D Linear Discrete Fornasini–Marchesini Model by Kai Wan

“…This paper first investigates convergent property of two iterative learning control (ILC) laws for two kinds of two-dimensional linear discrete systems described by the first Fornasini–Marchesini model (2-D LDFFM with a direct transmission from inputs to outputs and 2-D LDFFM with input delay). Different from existing ILC results for 2-D LDFFM, this paper provides convergence analysis in a three-dimensional (3-D) framework. …”

AAT model based channel estimation for mmWave massive MIMO systems by Shujuan YU, Rong LIU, Yun ZHANG, Na XIE, Liya HUANG

“…To solve the problems of temporal correlation and susceptibility to noise in millimeter wave massive MIMO channels, which result in decreased channel estimation accuracy, a novel channel estimation method based on an improved temporal convolutional network was proposed.The channel matrices obtained from simulation were feed into the system as two-dimensional image data.The temporal correlation was utilized for feature fusion and an attention in attention network was constructed to enhance the system’s ability to extract deep channel features.Then, AAN was integrated into the temporal convolutional network for training.Finally, the system outputted a denoised two-dimensional image, namely, the channel estimation matrix.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method not only exhibits good performance and complexity compared to conventional channel estimation methods but also maintains robustness when the test scenario changes.…”

Resisting the Politics of Displacement in the San Francisco Bay Area: Anti-gentrification Activism in the Tech Boom 2.0 by Florian Opillard

“…After a wave of evictions that the city has had to face in the years 2000, now called the first tech-boom, signs indicate that in 2013 and 2014, a strong influx of capital through companies of the tech industry has driven the phenomenal surge of evictions, buyouts and tenants harassment in the city. Focusing on two of the activist collectives and organizations that intend to fight this now called “tech-boom 2.0”, I describe the practical ways in which organizing collectively from weekly meetings, marches, rallies leads to the design by a city-scale coalition of pieces of legislation that crystalize and structure the progressive forces in San Francisco and the Bay Area.…”

“…We then discuss significant risks, including inaccuracy and overreliance on AI-generated content, challenges to authenticity and academic integrity, potential biases in AI outputs, and privacy concerns. As GenAI technology matures, it will likely come to have an important role in the future of GME, but its integration should be guided by a thorough understanding of both its benefits and limitations.…”
