A Methodology for Finding Uniform Regions in Spatial Data and its Application to Analyzing the Composition of Cities Zechun Cao UH DMML Advisor: Dr. Eick
Talk Organization Introduction Methodology Preliminary Results Future Work UH-DMML
Urban Computing • Serves for the modern cities with rapid progress of urbanization and civilization. • Aims to understand the nature and science behind the phenomenon. UH-DMML
Research Tasks • Analyzes the composition of the buildings in a city. • Develops framework that captures the spatial heterogeneity by non-spatial attributes. UH-DMML
Research Goals • Partitions a given space into uniform regions based on a domain expert’s notion of uniformity by maximizing a plug-in measure of uniformity. • Provides analysis functions to create summaries for the identified uniform regions. UH-DMML
CLEVER UH-DMML
Interestingness • Purity • Low Variance UH-DMML
Interestingness • Building Type Signature (90%, 5%, 1%, 3%, 0%, 1% ) UH-DMML
Dataset UH-DMML
Preliminary Results Building Type Purity Experiment Cluster#0: Commercial Area UH-DMML
Preliminary Results Building Size Distribution Experiment • 30 out of 36 clusters has the area standard deviation lower than the dataset standard deviation. UH-DMML
Preliminary Results Query Spatial Dataset by Signature UH-DMML
Future Work • Sensitivity analysis of initialization. • Merging the clusters across multiple runs to gain better clustering quality. • Parallel spatial data mining algorithms. UH-DMML
