  • Relationships between spatial components (street network, urban locations, visual information) are systematized by use of mathematical graphs.

    “In urban studies, relationships between these spatial components are systematized by use of mathematical graphs (Ducruet and Beauguitte 2014;Barthelemy 2011).”

    From A Network Approach to Link Visibility and Urban Activity Location (2018) · cites this paper as Barthelemy 2011

    The road and street networks section (p. 18) describes a street network as a graph of roads and intersections. The urban commuters section (p. 15) also describes a network whose nodes are urban locations and whose edges represent movement between them. The passages found do not show visual information being represented this way, so that component is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.83)

  • Small-world and scale-free properties allow classifying different networks in terms of their robustness, efficiency and heterogeneity.

    “Small-world and scale-free properties allow classifying different networks in terms of their robustness, efficiency and heterogeneity (Barthelemy 2011;Newman 2010).”

    From A Network Approach to Link Visibility and Urban Activity Location (2018) · cites this paper as Barthelemy 2011

  • The primary graph method represents junctions in street networks as nodes, and the street segments that connect junctions as edges.

    “This method represents junctions in street networks as nodes, and the street segments that connect junctions as edges (Eichler et al. 2013;Strano et al. 2012 andBarthelemy 2011).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
