Do you ever look at the gdal command line and think "hey, I could probably implement a U-Net with just this?" If not, that's normal and healthy. If so, you'll really appreciate @isaaccorley_ and mine's latest post (you might also even if not though)! - geospatialml.com/posts/unet-…

Excited to announce that TerraKit and TerraTorch from @IBMResearch have joined the TorchGeo organization - github.com/torchgeo!!
Together with TorchGeo, these python packages provide geospatial ML datasets, foundation models, fine-tuning tools, and more!

This is pt. 3 of our "Compressing Earth Embeddings" series. We:
- Compress per-pixel *differences* between two years of embeddings and store the top 8 PCA components as XYZ GeoTIFF tiles
- Use GeoTIFF.js to decode in-browser
- Use WebGPU compute shaders to train/inference

This lets users label a few examples of change → train a linear model → see predictions interactively as they scroll around Seattle → download change polygons. No backend services or desktop software needed!

I'm hiring for a machine learning data scientist & research assistant for summer 2025!
Join me on a project on invasive species management with an innovative startup doing on-the-ground removal of environmentally destructive invasives.
Paid, full-time w/ possibility to extend.
ALT Join me in working on a project on invasive species management, by predicting species risk and planning capture strategies. This work will be in partnership with an innovative startup that is working directly to capture environmentally destructive invasive species in the US. This project will be to build predictive machine learning models and design harvest strategies for Inversa’s invasive species removal efforts. The primary goal is to develop usable ML models and optimization tools to inform practical environmental decision-making on the ground. There will also be opportunities to extend this work into a research publication for a top-tier AI venue. How to apply: Please send a CV and 3–5 paragraphs of your background/interests via email to <lily.x@columbia.edu> with the subject line "Application: ML for invasive species management". Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

An expanded version of our TorchGeo paper has been accepted to ACM TSAS @TheOfficialACM
In addition to even more benchmarks on remote sensing datasets, we provide a thorough survey of open-source libraries for deep learning for geospatial data

The Climate Change AI workshop at NeurIPS tomorrow will be livestreamed for free, even if you weren't able to register for NeurIPS (which was oversubscribed this year)!
13 Dec 2024
Another highlight of our #NeurIPS2024 workshop on Sunday will be a panel discussion on small vs big models in ML for climate impact, featuring Chris Bretherton, Anamika Dubey & @BDilkina.
Stream the whole workshop live & for free via our website: climatechange.ai/events/neur…

1/ We released Fields of the World (FTW)-- a new satellite imagery field boundary dataset with samples from 24 countries (now downloadable via torchgeo)! One cool part of this work is that we find that models trained on FTW have decent zero-shot performance in new locations:

I'm so excited to finally introduce Fields of The World (FTW!) - the largest & most diverse ML dataset for field instance segmentation in satellite images. FTW has >70k samples from 24 countries (4 continents), with semantic & instance labels Sentinel-2 RGB-NIR from 2 dates. 🧵

4/ We've also done a lot of work on reproducibility. E.g. with Radiant MLHub shutting down, we've successfully migrated key datasets to Source Cooperative and AWS. This migration not only ensures continuity but also allowed us to simplify code!
