Visualizing Wikipedia Locations using Spark

• This git repo contains notebooks with all the source code to...
• ...download a wikipedia dump... load it into spark delta tables... use spark to extract location information... and generate visualizations like these...
• These links interactive visualizations should be more interseting than the static image below, though they are rather memory and GPU intensive.
  • A scatter-plot on a globe - zoom with the scroll wheel; spin the globe with the mouse; our mouse over any point to see the title of the wikipedia page that mentioned that location; but it takes a lot of memory.
  • A flat map - It groups wikipedia pages in Uber H3 Level 5 grids, so is somewhat less memory intensive than the previous link.
