IPGeoAI: Transformer-Based Geolocation with LLM Semantic Fusion

IPGeoAI is a transformer-based deep learning model that transforms IP geolocation from a static lookup into a sequential modeling task. It captures hierarchical dependencies in IP subnet structures and resolves geographic ambiguity by fusing unstructured semantic context extracted from Autonomous System descriptions via a zero‑shot LLM feature extraction pipeline. Extensive offline evaluation on a proprietary dataset of 200,000 cities shows IPGeoAI outperforms a leading vendor, achieving a 6% improvement in city‑level accuracy and 100% traffic coverage, while online production tests demonstrate a statistically significant +0.35% improvement in first‑tier downstream use‑case metrics.

Benchmarking Retrieval-Augmented Generation Strategies for Large Language Model-Based Travel Mode Choice Prediction

The paper evaluates how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can improve Large Language Model (LLM) predictions of travel mode choice. Four retrieval strategies—basic RAG, balanced retrieval, cross‑encoder re‑ranking, and a combination of balanced retrieval with cross‑encoder—are tested on three LLMs (GPT‑4o, o4‑mini, o3) using 2023 Puget Sound travel survey data. Results show that RAG boosts accuracy across models, with GPT‑4o plus balanced retrieval and cross‑encoder achieving 80.8% accuracy, surpassing traditional statistical and machine learning baselines and demonstrating strong zero‑shot transfer.

Geo-Embed: Towards Unified Multimodal Embeddings for Urban Understanding

Geospatial and urban applications increasingly require models to compare heterogeneous evidence across street-view imagery, remote-sensing observations, text descriptions, region proposals, and temporal change cues. However, existing multimodal embedding models and benchmarks are still largely designed and evaluated around general-purpose image-text matching, leaving unclear whether unified embedding space can support heterogeneous geospatial tasks involving spatial relationships, fine-grained semantics, and temporal changes.
