SEAL: Spatio-Textual Similarity Search

Summary: SEAL tackles spatio-textual similarity search over regions-of-interest (ROIs), jointly leveraging spatial overlap and textual similarity. It presents a filter-and-verification framework to efficiently compute ROI similarity on large-scale location-based datasets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
