An increasing amount of data is published on the Web according to the Linked Open Data (LOD) principles. End users would like to browse these data in a flexible manner. In this paper we focus on similarity-based browsing and we introduce a…
In this paper, we investigate the retrievability of datasets and publications in a real-life Digital Library (DL). The measure of retrievability was originally developed to quantify the influence that a retrieval system has on the access to…
Food market accessibility is a critical yet underexplored dimension of food systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. In this paper, we present a continent-wide assessment of spatial food market accessibility in Africa,…
Group fairness is a popular approach to prevent unfavorable treatment of individuals based on sensitive attributes such as race, gender, and disability. However, the reliance of group fairness on access to discrete group information raises…
Segregation is a highly nuanced concept that researchers have worked to define and measure over the past several decades. Conventional approaches tend to estimate segregation based on residential patterns in a static manner. In this work,…
Efficient and equitable access to essential services, such as healthcare, food, and education, is an important goal in urban planning, public policy, and transport logistics. However, existing facility location models often do not scale…
Urban morphology and socioeconomic aspects of cities have been explored by analysing urban street network. To analyse the network, several variations of the centrality indices are often used. However, its nature has not yet been widely…
The preponderance of connected devices provides unprecedented opportunities for fine-grained monitoring of the public infrastructure. However while classical models expect high quality application-specific data streams, the promise of the…
We study the problem of computing all Pareto-optimal journeys in a public transit network regarding the two criteria of arrival time and number of transfers taken. In recent years, great advances have been made in making public transit…
The expansion of urban centers necessitates enhanced efficiency and sustainability in their transportation infrastructure and mobility systems. The big data obtainable from various transportation modes potentially offers critical insights…
Methods for interactive evaluation of the functioning efficiency of the motor transport system for a large city based on the use of U-statistics methods has been formalized. To optimize this technique, effective algorithmic constructions…
Classical measures of inequality use the mean as the benchmark of economic dispersion. They are not sensitive to inequality at the left tail of the distribution, where it would matter most. This paper presents a new inequality measurement…
Human mobility analysis at urban-scale requires models to represent the complex nature of human movements, which in turn are affected by accessibility to nearby points of interest, underlying socioeconomic factors of a place, and local…
This article proposes to describe and compare the contributions of various techniques of evaluation of the accessibility of E-services carried out starting from (i) methods of inspection (on the basis of traditional ergonomic criteria and…
Over the past decade, scientific studies have used the growing availability of large tracking datasets to enhance our understanding of human mobility behavior. However, so far data processing pipelines for the varying data collection…
The current state-of-the-art in user mobility research has extensively relied on open-source mobility traces captured from pedestrian and vehicular activity through a variety of communication technologies as users engage in a wide-range of…
We use the transport methods developped in [3] to obtain universality results for local statistics of eigenvalues in the bulk and at the edge for $\beta$-matrix models in the multi-cut regime. We construct an approximate transport map…
The development of public transportation networks and associated transit oriented development policies are efficient tools to mitigate urban sprawl and its negative environmental impacts, especially in terms of commuting emissions. We study…
Understanding the quality and usage of public transportation resources is important for schedule optimization and resource allocation. Ridership and adherence are the two main dimensions for evaluating the quality of service. Using…
The planning of attractive and cost efficient public transport systems is a highly complex optimization process involving many steps. Integrating robustness from a passenger's point of view makes the task even more challenging. With…
