Multimodal Urban Areas of Interest Generation via Remote Sensing Imagery and Geographical Prior
Shi, Chuanji, Zhang, Yingying, Wang, Jiaotuan, Guo, Xin, Zhu, Qiqi
Urban area-of-interest (AOI) refers to an integrated urban functional zone with defined polygonal boundaries. The rapid development of urban commerce has led to increasing demands for highly accurate and timely AOI data. However, existing research primarily focuses on coarse-grained functional zones for urban planning or regional economic analysis, and often neglects the expiration of AOI in the real world. They fail to fulfill the precision demands of Mobile Internet Online-to-Offline (O2O) businesses. These businesses require accuracy down to a specific community, school, or hospital. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive end-to-end multimodal deep learning framework designed for simultaneously detecting accurate AOI boundaries and validating the reliability of AOI by leveraging remote sensing imagery coupled with geographical prior, titled AOITR. Unlike conventional AOI generation methods, such as the Road-cut method that segments road networks at various levels, our approach diverges from semantic segmentation algorithms that depend on pixel-level classification. Instead, our AOITR begins by selecting a point-of-interest (POI) of specific category, and uses it to retrieve corresponding remote sensing imagery and geographical prior such as entrance POIs and road nodes. This information helps to build a multimodal detection model based on transformer encoder-decoder architecture to regress the AOI polygon. Additionally, we utilize the dynamic features from human mobility, nearby POIs, and logistics addresses for AOI reliability evaluation via a cascaded network module. The experimental results reveal that our algorithm achieves a significant improvement on Intersection over Union (IoU) metric, surpassing previous methods by a large margin.

Recipe For New Sports? Just Add A Drone
Snowboarders are pulled by a drone on a lake near Cesis, Latvia, in January. Snowboarders are pulled by a drone on a lake near Cesis, Latvia, in January. You may have heard of drone racing, but people keep coming up with new ways to enjoy these flying machines. One of the latest twists on drone sports comes from Latvia. A company called Aerones has developed a drone to use for droneboarding, a new sport that's just what it sounds like -- a snowboarder being pulled through the snow by a powerful drone.

Research Approaches to Creativity: Weaving the Threads
Stojanov, Georgi Kiril (The American University of Paris)
Hershman and Lieb, 1988) However, Ward et al. (Ward et al. 1999) have convincingly argued an alternative While it is relatively easy to recognize a creative deed, it is view that "[…] creative capacity is an essential property of extremely difficult (as demonstrated by creativity research normative human cognition and […] the relevant processes so far) to define what creativity is. The past (almost 70) are open to investigation". In support of this view, I would years of research definitely shed some light on different like to mention the research of Picciuto and Carruthers aspects of creativity, but we are still far from a commonly (Picciuto and Carruthers, 2012) that put forward the agreed upon definition of it and consequently a deep hypothesis that pretense play might be the key factor in understanding of this phenomenon. For an extended understanding creativity. Pretense play occurs typically in historical overview of creativity research, please refer to children at about the age of 18 months and is universal (Stojanov, 2013). Here are four branches which can be across all human cultures.
