Self-supervised learning (SSL) is designed to learn generic, transferable representations rather than representations optimized for a single task. Most geospatial benchmarks evaluate representations solely through downstream tasks, providing limited insight into the information encoded within the representation itself.
arXiv:2607. 03663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The accurate estimation of Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) in mature tropical forests remains a critical challenge in remote sensing, primarily due to the saturation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signals in high-density areas and persistent cloud cover affecting optical imagery.

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is widely used for chemical sensing, but extracting reliable chemical information from spectra remains challenging. Conventional interpretation is labor-intensive, relies on prior knowledge and reference spectra, and is difficult to scale, whereas most machine-learning methods are tailored to individual tasks or datasets, require large labeled training sets, and transfer poorly across analytical objectives and experimental datasets.
