SLUM-i: Semi-supervised Learning for Urban Mapping of Informal Settlements and Data Quality Benchmarking

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2602. 04525v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Rapid urban expansion has fueled the growth of informal settlements in major cities of low- and middle-income countries, with Lahore and Karachi in Pakistan and Mumbai in India serving as prominent examples.

DeepC4: Deep Conditional Census-Constrained Clustering for Large-scale Multitask Spatial Disaggregation of Urban Morphology

DeepC4 is a deep learning-based spatial disaggregation method that uses local census statistics as cluster-level constraints and incorporates multiple conditional label relationships in a multitask learning framework. Applied to Rwandan urban morphology, it achieves macro‑F1 scores of 0.63, 0.78, and 0.45 for roof, wall, and height prediction, respectively, and estimates national dwelling and occupant counts within about 1.1% error compared to census records. The approach outperforms existing GEM and METEOR methods and covers 32‑49% more 500‑meter grid pixels across provinces.

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.
