UrbanCLIP: Learning Text-Enhanced Urban Region Profiling with Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining from the Web
WWW 2024(2024)
摘要
Urban region profiling from web-sourced data is of utmost importance for
urban planning and sustainable development. We are witnessing a rising trend of
LLMs for various fields, especially dealing with multi-modal data research such
as vision-language learning, where the text modality serves as a supplement
information for the image. Since textual modality has never been introduced
into modality combinations in urban region profiling, we aim to answer two
fundamental questions in this paper: i) Can textual modality enhance urban
region profiling? ii) and if so, in what ways and with regard to which aspects?
To answer the questions, we leverage the power of Large Language Models (LLMs)
and introduce the first-ever LLM-enhanced framework that integrates the
knowledge of textual modality into urban imagery profiling, named LLM-enhanced
Urban Region Profiling with Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (UrbanCLIP).
Specifically, it first generates a detailed textual description for each
satellite image by an open-source Image-to-Text LLM. Then, the model is trained
on the image-text pairs, seamlessly unifying natural language supervision for
urban visual representation learning, jointly with contrastive loss and
language modeling loss. Results on predicting three urban indicators in four
major Chinese metropolises demonstrate its superior performance, with an
average improvement of 6.1
Our code and the image-language dataset will be released upon paper
notification.
