This paper proposes a novel, training-free method to derive geolocation representations (LLMGeovec) by leveraging large language models and OpenStreetMap data. LLMGeovec can represent geographic semantics at city, country, and global scales, enhancing spatio-temporal learning models. The approach is applied to multiple tasks, including geographic prediction, long-term time series forecasting, and graph-based spatio-temporal forecasting. By directly concatenating features, the method improves performance and provides immediate enhancements for various spatio-temporal learning models. Experimental results demonstrate that LLMGeovec achieves global coverage and boosts the performance of leading models.

This research helps computers understand locations better by using a new way to create maps based on language models and existing map data. The idea is to make it easier for computers to learn about places without needing expensive street views or mobility data. The method works well for tasks like predicting where something will be, forecasting future events, and understanding relationships between locations. It can also help many different computer learning models do their jobs better. The results show that this approach covers the whole world and improves the performance of top models.
