Urban wetlands provide cities with unique and valuable ecosystem services but are under great degradation pressure. Correctly identifying urban wetlands from remote sensing images is fundamental for developing appropriate management and protection plans. To overcome the semantic limitations of traditional pixel-level urban wetland classification techniques, we proposed an urban wetland identification framework based on an advanced scene-level classification scheme. First, the Sentinel-2 high-resolution multispectral image of Shenzhen was segmented into 320 m × 320 m square patches to generate sample datasets for classification. Next, twelve typical convolutional neural network (CNN) models were transformed for the comparison experiments. Finally, the model with the best performance was used to classify the wetland scenes in Shenzhen, and pattern and composition analyses were also implemented in the classification results. We found that the DenseNet121 model performed best in classifying urban wetland scenes, with overall accuracy (OA) and kappa values reaching 0.89 and 0.86, respectively. The analysis results revealed that the wetland scene in Shenzhen is generally balanced in the east–west direction. Among the wetland scenes, coastal open waters accounted for a relatively high proportion and showed an obvious southward pattern. The remaining swamp, marsh, tidal flat, and pond areas were scattered, accounting for only 4.64% of the total area of Shenzhen. For scattered and dynamic urban wetlands, we are the first to achieve scene-level classification with satisfactory results, thus providing a clearer and easier-to-understand reference for management and protection, which is of great significance for promoting harmony between humanity and ecosystems in cities.

Location services based on address matching play an important role in people’s daily lives. However, with the rapid development of cities, new addresses are constantly emerging. Due to the untimely updating of word segmentation dictionaries and address databases, the accuracy of address segmentation and the certainty of address matching face severe challenges. Therefore, a new address element recognition method for address matching is proposed. The method first uses the bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) model to learn the contextual information and address model features. Second, the conditional random field (CRF) is used to model the constraint relationships among the tags. Finally, a new address element is recognized according to the tag, and the new address element is put into the word segmentation dictionary. The spatial information is assigned to it, and it is put into the address database. Different sequence tagging models and different vector representations of addresses are used for comparative evaluation. The experimental results show that the method introduced in this paper achieves the maximum generalization ability, its F1 score is 0.78, and the F1 score on the testing dataset also achieves a high value (0.95).

POI data play an important role in various location-based services, including navigation, positioning, and local search applications. However, as cities rapidly develop, a substantial amount of new POI data are generated daily, often accompanied by issues with the quality of their labels. Therefore, there is an urgent need to implement intelligent inference and enhancement processing for POI data labels. Conventional neural network models primarily target balanced data distribution, but they fail to address the issue of imbalanced distribution of POI data labels in terms of quantity. Furthermore, most neural network classification models implicitly learn the semantic knowledge of different categories from training datasets, neglecting the explicit semantic information offered by natural language labels. Considering the above problems, several negative samples are introduced for each input to a positive class, thereby transforming the multi-classification task into a binary classification problem. Simultaneously, POI data labels are introduced to provide explicit semantic information, and the semantic relationship between POI data labels and their names is determined using cross-coding. Experiments demonstrate that the macro − F1 score for the test dataset, which contains 75 different categories of POI data, reaches 0.84. This result surpasses the performance of traditional methods, highlighting the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Carbon compensation can guide human activities in reducing carbon emissions or increasing carbon sequestration and also represents an important approach for coordinating regional development. In this paper, Chongqing Municipality, whose internal development is varied, was selected as a case study. The annual carbon emissions, carbon sequestration, carbon deficits, and inter-regional carbon compensation costs from 2000 to 2021 were continuously estimated via local optimization methods, and a carbon compensation zoning scheme was proposed that integrates the present situation and trend analysis. The results show that (1) Chongqing’s total carbon emissions were greater than the total carbon sequestration, and the carbon deficit was approximately 556.24 × 10⁴ t~3621.58 × 10⁴ t. (2) County-level carbon budgets have large regional differences; the counties that should always receive carbon compensation are from the southeast and northeast regions, and the counties that should always pay carbon compensation are from central urban areas and the surrounding new urban areas. (3) All the counties were zoned into key payment areas, basic payment areas, key recipient areas, and basic recipient areas. The key payment areas, which account for 39.47%, maintain and grow payment status and are the main sources of carbon compensation costs, while the key recipient areas, which account for 44.74%, maintained a negative compensation status and a continuous downward trend, meaning that they may receive increasing carbon compensation costs. This paper revealed inequities in carbon compensation and proposed a novel zoning solution, which can provide scientific reference and data support for further establishing inter-regional carbon compensation mechanisms.
