Granularity Analysis for Spatio-Temporal Web Sensors
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years, many researches to mine the exploding Web world, especially User Generated Content (UGC) such as weblogs, for knowledge about various phenomena and events in the physical world have been done actively, and also Web services with the Web-mined knowledge have begun to be developed for the public. However, there are few detailed investigations on how accurately Web-mined data reflect physical-world data. It must be problematic to idolatrously utilize the Web-mined data in public Web services without ensuring their accuracy sufficiently. Therefore, this paper introduces the simplest Web Sensor and spatiotemporallynormalized Web Sensor to extract spatiotemporal data about a target phenomenon from weblogs searched by keyword(s) representing the target phenomenon, and tries to validate the potential and reliability of the Web-sensed spatiotemporal data by four kinds of granularity analyses of coefficient correlation with temperature, rainfall, snowfall, and earthquake statistics per day by region of Japan Meteorological Agency as physical-world data: spatial granularity (region’s population density), temporal granularity (time period, e.g., per day vs. per week), representation granularity (e.g., “rain” vs. “heavy rain”), and media granularity (weblogs vs. microblogs such as Tweets). Keywords—Granularity analysis, knowledge extraction, spatiotemporal data mining, Web credibility, Web mining, Web sensor.

STCS-GAF: Spatio-Temporal Compressive Sensing in Wireless Sensor Networks- A GAF-Based Approach
Routing and data aggregation are two important techniques for reducing communication cost of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To minimize communication cost, routing methods can be merged with data aggregation techniques. Compressive sensing (CS) is one of the effective techniques for aggregating network data, which can reduce the cost of communication by reducing the amount of routed data to t...
متن کاملGranularity in Reference to Spatio-Temporal Location and Relations
This paper discusses the role of granularity in judgments about spatio-temporal location and relations. It distinguishes three aspects of spatio-temporal granularity: the granularity with which location is approximated, the granularity which arises as a function of the degree to which we recognize or trace over changes of location, and granularity as it affects our apprehension of spatio-tempor...
متن کاملDescribing the levels of detail for the analysis of spatio-temporal events
Spatio-temporal events are collected at high levels of detail (LoDs) in many phenomena. Both spatial and temporal characteristics of data can be expressed at different LoDs. Depending on the level of detail, different spatiotemporal patterns can be detected, and in some specific cases spatio-temporal patterns are just detected in some LoDs [1]. It is crucial to model spatio-temporal phenomena h...
