MapLayNet can learn a concept hierarchy of map layout via an unsupervised data similarity measure. The resulting layout embedding can be further explored for more cartographic tasks.

New paper from Jian Yang and colleagues, presenting MapLayNet, a way of understanding maps as a graph and classifying how they are laid out, with the aim of better map layout retrieval and design recommendation #GISchat #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1080/1523...
Figure 1 Research diagram illustrating map layout graph construction. Part a) shows a world map of seismic activity with 6 colored markers representing different elements on the map. Part b) transforms these into a graph theory representation where elements become vertices (v1-v6) connected by edges showing relationships. Figure 10 Machine learning visualization showing how AI clusters similar map elements together. Each dot represents a different map and are grouped together in 2D space according to their layout. The algorithm successfully identifies layout patterns across different map types! #MachineLearning #Cartography
