    Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution in Surface Soils of Urban Parks in Beijing, China

To date, little research on soil pollution in ChinaÕs urban parks has been conducted. To identify the concentrations and sources of heavy metals, and to assess the soil environmental qua- lity, samples were collected from 30 urban parks located in the city of Beijing. Subsequently, the concentrations of Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in the samples were analyzed. The investigation revealed that the accumulations of Cu and Pb were read- ily apparent in the soils. The integrated pollution index (IPI) of these four metals ranged from 0.97 to 9.21, with the highest IPI in the densely populated historic center district (HCD). Using multivariate statistic approaches (principal components analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis), two factors controlling the heavy metal variability were obtained, which accounted for nearly 80% of the total variance.

    2019 International Conference on Computer Science, Communications and Big Data (CSCBD 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-626-8 Semantic Analysis of Tourism Vocabulary Based on Similar Words Calculation 1 2 Hui PENG and Hong-yan PAN 1School of Tourism Sciences, Beijing International Studies University, Beijing, China 2Lingjiu Science and Technology Company, Beijing, China Keywords: Tourism data mining, Similar words, Semantics, Semantic diagram. Abstract. Tourism data mining is the process of abstracting data relations from a huge number of tourism data. It can discover the implicit knowledge and rules which hidden in data. The discovery of the semantic relation between tourism words is the important content in tourism data mining. The classical similar words calculation model skip-gram in natural language processing area is introduced in the paper. The part of speech is not considered in skip-gram so when the similar words located closely in a sentence the model cannot identify them accurately. So we provide the model of skip-gram with Chinese Part of Speech—POS-skip-gram. With the help of this model and the tourism data from elong and ctrip website, we have established the semantic relations map of tourism words. The map can be the basis of tourism data mining. Introduction The computation of similar words in the field of computer can be used to mine the semantic relationship between words in an application field. At present, there are two main methods for calculating similar words: dictionary-based method and statistics-based method. For the dictionary-based method, in the calculation of Chinese similar words, synonym word forest [1] and Hownet[2] can be used to obtain synonyms of target words.
