Clustering Events Based On Common Subevents

The objective of this project is to create a methodology to find communities of similar events based on their context, which is represented by their subevents. The similarity is measured through a new metric we propose, which takes into account the similar subevents between events. The motivation behind clustering these events into larger labeled groups is to enrich the overall understanding of each individual event. The event and subevent relationships have been extracted using a weakly supervised event acquisition method and have been stored in a knowledge base. Using these pairs and the idea of hierarchical event representation, we cluster the events, which will provide insights on the similarities and differences between events in context

Nolanville Comprehensive Plan 2021-2041

Nearly five years after the completion of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan, TxTC partnered with the City of Nolanville again in 2019 with the ENDEAVR project. ENDEAVR (Envisioning the Neo-traditional Development by Embracing the Autonomous Vehicles Realm)— is an ambitious project to re-envision ”smart” city solutions in small towns with students from a wide range of university degree programs in urban planning, landscape architecture, visualization, computer science, and civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. ENDEAVR launched in 2018 with a $300,000 grant from the Keck Foundation, which supports projects that promote inventive educational approaches. The City of Nolanville sought to explore “smart” city solutions to make efficient and prudent improvements to traffic flow, public safety, optimize utility systems, high-bandwidth digital networks, and foster autonomous vehicles. Additionally, TxTC included these “smart” city solutions to update its 2015 comprehensive plan. The new 2020 comprehensive plan embeds “smart” city solutions into its priorities and capital improvement projects to foster diversity and continue to make Nolanville “A Great Place to Live”
