HNYC Spatial Research on Spatial Linkages

Fall 2020

  1. Reworked the interpolation phase into (i) the interpolation phase and (ii) the model phase (see hnyc-spatial-linkage/interpolation_notebooks/fall20_notebooks/PROCESS_INTERPOLATION.ipynb and PROCESS_MODEL_training_ward10.ipynb).
  2. Extended the interpolation phase to all wards (except ward 12 and 19 which do not have enough known dwellings). The model phase is still only on ward 10. Cross validation is implemented for the model phase.
  3. Initiated a new sequence similarity feature. There is still an issue with this. See the end of HNYC_Project/Projects/spatial_linkage/Spatial Linkage & Interpolation: Summer 2020.ppt for more details.
  4. All work is done on 1850 Manhattan. (see notebookes in interpolation_notebooks/fall20_notebooks/.)
  5. Improvised elastic search match process to include more records for both 1880 and 1850 (see ES_matching/src folder - Elastic_Search_1850_mn v02.ipynb)
  6. Disambiguation process on new matches (see disambiguation_1850 folder)
  7. Resolved dwelling conflicts on the new 1850 disambiguated output (that includes new matches) (interpolation_notebooks/Concepts_and_Development/Dwelling_Addresses_Fill_In_and_Conflict_Resolution_Development_v2.ipynb)
  8. Updated 'dwelling adress fill in' process to identify unique dwelling ids and then choose dwelling address through bipartite matching both for summer and fall 1850 disambiguated run (interpolation_notebooks/Concepts_and_Development/Unique_Dwelling_Addresses_Fill_In_and_Conflict_Resolution_Development.ipynb)

potential for improvement

  1. Explore rules for elastic search match
  2. Identify other weight combinations for confidence score tuning
  3. Explore methods for creating unique dwelling ids for interpolation process
  4. Make comparisons in the output of Summer and Fall 2020 (with extra matches) disambiguated and address fill in processes

Summer 2020

  1. Developed confidence score tuning process (see disambiguation_1880 folder)
  2. Developed interpolation process (see interpolation folder for code and interpolation_notebooks folder for jupyter notebooks that document process)
  3. For overview of process and next steps see google drive HNYC_Project/Projects/spatial_linkage/Spatial Linkage & Interpolation: Summer 2020.ppt and HNYC_Project/Projects/spatial_linkage/Spatial Linkage and Interpolation Workflow.doc

Spring 2020 Actions

Accomplished:

  1. Updated confidence score to include census conflicts (see disambiguation_2.ipynb)
  2. Merged lat lng data to matched data -> produced matched.csv
  3. Experimented with methods to add spatial weights, including graph-based and cluster-based approaches on a subset of the data (see spatial-disambiguation.ipynb)
  4. Outlined overall workflow for disambiguation using bipartite graph matching algorithm (linkage-disambiguation.ipynb).
  5. Ran algorithms on full dataset & obtained initial performance metrics
    1. Functionalized process using disambiguation module
  6. Tuned algorithms and compared metrics + recommendations
  7. Updated ES matching process to reflect metaphone matching See Google Drive Documentation > disambiguation > Spatial Linkage: Spring 2020 for slides

Summary of Processes Taken in Fall 2019

1880 Process

Two sources:

  • City Directory: name (first, last, initial), address, ID, occupation, ED, ward, block number (constructed)
  • Census: address (hidden during match process), ID (different from CD), occupation, ED, ward, age, gender, dwelling, household characteristics

Steps:
0. Preprocessing: changing names to their phonetic index

  1. Initial entity link (to generate possible matches): criteria = same ED + JW dist < 2 on indexed name
  2. Disambiguation (to choose between non-unique matches):
    a. Generate a confidence score based on occupation (having occupation), age > 12 (not implemented), JW dist of name, relative probability (number of non-unique matches)

1850

Similar, but no ED and address data, only ward data in the census.
