Arguments

landmarks

sf spatial points data.frame of landmarks.

landmarks.name_var

Name of variable indicating name of landmark. (Default: "name").

landmarks.type_var

Name of variable indicating type of landmark. (Default: "type").

grams.min_words

Minimum number of words in name to make n/skip-grams out of name. (Default: 3).

grams.max_words

Maximum number of words in name to make n/skip-grams out of name. Setting a cap helps to reduce spurious landmarks that may come out of really long names. (Default: 6).

grams.skip_gram_first_last_word_match

For skip-grams, should first and last word be the same as the original word? (Default: TRUE).

grams.add_only_if_name_new

When creating new landmarks based on n- and skip-grams, only add an additional landmark if the name of the landmark is new; i.e., the name doesn't already exist in the gazetteer. (Default: FALSE).

grams.add_only_if_specific

When creating new landmarks based on n- and skip-grams, only add an additional landmark if the name of the landmark represents a specific location. A specific location is a location where most landmark entries with the same name are close together (within close_thresh_km kilometers). (Default: FALSE).

types_rm

If landmark has one of these types, remove - unless types_rm.except_with_type or types_rm.except_with_name prevents removing. (Default: c("route", "road", "toilet", "political", "locality", "neighborhood", "area", "section of populated place")).

types_rm.except_with_type

Landmark types to always keep. This parameter only becomes relevant in cases where a landmark has more than one type. If a landmark has both a "types_rm" and a "types_always_keep" landmark, this landmark will be kept. (Default: c("flyover", "round about", "roundabout")).

types_rm.except_with_name

Landmark names to always keep. This parameter only becomes relevant in cases where a landmark is one of "types_rm" Here, we keep the landmark if "names_always_keep" is somewhere in the name. For example, if the landmark is a road but has flyover in the name, we may want to keep the landmark as flyovers are small spatial areas. (Default: c("flyover", "round about", "roundabout")).

parallel.sep_slash

If a landmark contains a slash, create new landmarks before and after the slash. (Default: TRUE).

parallel.rm_begin

If a landmark name begins with one of these words, add a landmark that excludes the word. (Default: c(tm::stopwords("en"), c("near","at","the", "towards", "near"))).

parallel.rm_end

If a landmark name ends with one of these words, add a landmark that excludes the word. (Default: c("bar", "shops", "restaurant","sports bar","hotel", "bus station")).

parallel.word_diff

If the landmark includes one of these words, add a landmark that swaps the word for the other word (e.g., "center" with "centre"). By default, uses a set collection of words. Users can also manually specify different word versions. Input should be a data.frame with the following variables: version_1 (for one spelling of the word) and version_2 (for a second spelling of the word).

parallel.word_diff_iftype

If the landmark includes one of these words, add a landmark that swaps the word for the other word (e.g., "bus stop" with "bus station"). Enter a named list of words, with words = c() and type = c(). (Default: list(list(words = c("stage", "bus stop", "bus station"), type = "transit_station"))).

parallel.rm_begin_iftype

If a landmark name begins with one of these words, add a landmark that excludes the word if the landmark is a certain type. (Default: NULL).

parallel.rm_end_iftype

If a landmark name ends with one of these words, add a landmark that excludes the word if the landmark is a certain type. (Default: list(list(words = c("stage", "bus stop", "bus station"), type = "transit_station"))).

parallel.word_begin_addtype

If the landmark begins with one of these words, add the type. For example, if landmark is "restaurant", this indicates the landmark is a restaurant. Adding the "restaurant" to landmark ensures that the type is reflected. (Default: NULL).

parallel.word_end_addtype

If the landmark ends with one of these words, add the type. For example, if landmark is "X stage", this indicates the landmark is a bus stage. Adding the "stage" to landmark ensures that the type is reflected. (Default: list(list(words = c("stage", "bus stop", "bus station"), type = "stage"))).

parallel.add_only_if_name_new

When creating parallel landmarks using the above parameters, only add an additional landmark if the name of the landmark is new; i.e., the name doesn't already exist in the gazetteer. (Default: FALSE).

parallel.add_only_if_specific

When creating parallel landmarks using the above parameters, only add an additional landmark if the name of the landmark represents a specific location. A specific location is a location where most landmark entries with the same name are close together (within close_thresh_km kilometers). (Default: FALSE).

rm.contains

Remove the landmark if it contains one of these words. Implemented after N/skip-grams and parallel landmarks are added. (Default: c("road", "rd")).

rm.name_begin

Remove the landmark if it begins with one of these words. Implemented after N/skip-grams and parallel landmarks are added. (Default: c(tm::stopwords("en"), c("near","at","the", "towards", "near"))).

rm.name_end

Remove the landmark if it ends with one of these words. Implemented after N/skip-grams and parallel landmarks are added. (Default: c("highway", "road", "rd", "way", "ave", "avenue", "street", "st")).

pos_rm.all

Part-of-speech categories to remove. Part-of-speech determined by Spacy. (Default: c("ADJ", "ADP", "ADV", "AUX", "CCONJ", "INTJ", "NUM", "PRON", "SCONJ", "VERB", "X")).

pos_rm.except_type

When specify part-of-speech categories to remove in pos_rm.all, when to override pos_rm.all and keep the word. Names list with: (1) pos (if the word is also another type of part-of-speech); (2) type (if the word is also a certain type of place); and (3) name (if the word includes certain text). Example: list(pos = c("NOUN", "PROPN"), type = c("bus", "restaurant", "bank"), name = c("parliament")). (Default: list(pos = c("NOUN", "PROPN"), type = c("bus", "restaurant", "bank"), name = "")).

close_thresh_km

When to consider locations close together. Used when determining if a landmark name with multiple locations are specific (close together) or general (far apart). (Default: 1).

quiet

Print progress of function. (Default: TRUE).

Value

sf spatial point data.frame of landmarks.
