When images, mosaics, and data cubes exist in abundance, but field labels are expensive, rare, and imperfect. The post Small Data, Big Maps: Training Geospatial ML Models When Samples Are Scarce appeared first on Towards Data Science .
arXiv:2607. 24532v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent years have seen a rapid expansion in the production of large-scale geospatial maps derived from Earth observation (EO) data, driven largely by advances in machine learning (ML) and large computing infrastructure.
A reproducible Lagos case study with population data, transport access, and airspace constraints The post How to Place Vertiport Locations in Any City Using Geospatial Machine Learning appeared first on Towards Data Science .
Open-vocabulary Earth observation (EO) aims to localize geospatial concepts specified in natural language rather than a fixed label set. Existing benchmarks, however, usually cover narrow category vocabularies or limited query forms.
arXiv:2506. 01297v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Representation learning of geospatial locations remains a core challenge in achieving general geospatial intelligence, with increasingly diverging philosophies and techniques.
arXiv:2607. 02724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable internet access is essential for modern education, yet millions of school-aged children especially in developing regions remain offline due to unconnected schools.
arXiv:2606. 00675v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Water research in Brazil largely overlooks the widespread damming of small streams for agricultural uses including watering cattle, farm-scale hydropower, irrigation, and aquaculture.
arXiv:2608. 07411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the context of geodata, existing Large Language Models have often been studied in a homogeneous setting, which has considerably limited insights into their generalization capabilities.
arXiv:2606. 07172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Geospatial understanding is a critical yet underexplored dimension in the development of machine learning systems for tasks such as image geolocation and spatial reasoning.
arXiv:2606. 28390v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Geospatial vector data quality is a foundational research topic in GIS, yet classic rule-based quality assessment algorithms often struggle with diverse urban morphologies and massive data volumes.
arXiv:2607. 12177v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The analysis of satellite and aerial imagery has entered a new era with the advent of foundation models.
arXiv:2606. 00675v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Water research in Brazil largely overlooks the widespread damming of small streams for agricultural uses such as watering cattle, farm-scale hydropower, irrigation, and aquaculture.
arXiv:2501. 14546v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper investigates the novel application of Large Language Models (LLMs) with vision capabilities to analyze satellite imagery for village-level poverty prediction.
