Location-Aware Language Models via Secondary Embeddings

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

Pretrained transformer-based language models achieve strong performance across a wide range of NLP tasks but remain limited in encoding geo-locational semantics, leading to suboptimal representations of place names and spatial entities. In this work, we propose a lightweight, model-agnostic approach for injecting geo-spatial awareness into pretrained embeddings without modifying the tokenizer or requiring costly retraining. Our method augments input representations with structured geographic signals by combining location names with their corresponding latitude and longitude, and employs a loca
