2023 March - 56 articles

Cover Story: Detecting city hotspots can support planners, scientists, and policymakers to deal with challenges related to city management. Since metropolitan areas are heavily characterized by variable densities, multi-density clustering seems more appropriate than the classic techniques for discovering city hotspots. This paper discusses research issues and challenges for analyzing urban data, aimed at discovering multi-density hotspots in metropolitan areas. The study compares several approaches proposed in the literature for clustering urban data and analyzes their performance on both state-of-the-art and real-world datasets, showing that multi-density clustering algorithms generally achieve better results on urban data than the classic density-based algorithms. View this paper
