  • I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a word as you describe it that would fit in your example sentence other than hub. None of intersection, crossroad, or junction (given in an answer) really work. I think you more likely want the destination (or origin) of many different roads, as @Lawrence suggested. E.g. "If you control Rome, you control the world".

Looking to your example, I'll suggest two words.



Hub check the entry 2 in Oxford Dictionary




The effective center of an activity, region, or network.




"Today, the area around the vast pond is the hub of commercial activity in the city."





And, the second word is Junction.




A place where two or more roads or railway lines meet.




(used in the sentence figuratively) “Zone III is considered a very attractive project to invest in, given its prime location in the international business junction that saw land prices growing continuously,” the company says.

    On reading the title, I was immediately going to answer intersection—until I saw that it was already in the question.



    I can't think of a different word (other than intersection or crossroads) that is literally about roads, and you've already used hub in your question.



    I can, however, provide two related words—as defined at Merriam-Webster:



    Nexus




    1 : CONNECTION, LINK

    // the nexus between teachers and students
    also : a causal link

    // the nexus between poverty and crime

    2 : a connected group or series

    // a nexus of theories

    // a nexus of relationships

    3 : CENTER, FOCUS
    // The bookstore has become something of a nexus for the downtown neighborhood.

    —Jane Smiley




    Core




    1 : a central and often foundational part usually distinct from the enveloping part by a difference in nature

    // the core of the city

            How to label and detect the document text images

            Image
            1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

            Tabula Rosettana

            Image
            Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
