Recently, I read some interesting articles about Uber GPS log data. Some are about a public dataset, which has become invalid unfortunately. But some good guy puts the dataset on Github. You can try it by yourself.
Sometime, I need to draw figures in Powerpoint then use them in my latex projects. However, Microsoft does not provide a function as “Export as eps” in Powerpoint. Here, I record how I attempted to make this happen.
“The arXiv is a repository of electronic preprints, known as e-prints, of scientific papers in the fields of mathematics, physics, astronomy, computer science, quantitative biology, statistics, and quantitative finance, which can be accessed online. In many fields of mathematics and physics, almost all scientific papers are self-archived on the arXiv. Begun on August 14, 1991, arXiv.org passed the half-million article milestone on October 3, 2008, and hit a million by the end of 2014. By 2014 the submission rate had grown to more than 8,000 per month.”–WiKi
Urban crowd logistics, also known as last-mile crowdsourcing [1], consists in leaning on a group of citizens for completing the last-mile delivery of parcels in a city. This model answers the need to cope with the increased congestion in cities and the resultant problems of inefficiency and negative environmental impacts of local deliveries.
Spatial crowdsourcing is an extension of general crowdsourcing. Specifically, in spatial crowdsourcing, crowd or workers need to physically move to a particular place associated with a spatial task. In different branch areas of computer science, this new topic has different names, such as spatial crowdsourcing, mobile crowdsourcing and participatory sensing. Here is a reading list about this topic. I will update it aperiodically.
