Understanding Landmarks in Spatial Information: Does Sentiment Provide Enough Context?

Abstract: This literature review focuses on combining spatial information communi-cated about a landmark and sentiment analysis techniques. In spatial infor-mation processing literature, the definition of a landmark remains elusive. We propose to have a study apply sentiment labeling models to landmark definition. However, instead of seeking an umbrella definition for the in-tangible landmark, it may be more relevant to classify individual landmarks recursively, using a methodology that accounts for its subjectivity. A goal is to apply sentiment labeling models to the landmark definition.
