Congrats to the joint ISI and @UMNews team for receiving first place in the Map Feature Extraction Challenge, as part of the @DARPA #AI for Critical Mineral Assessment Challenge! The team consisted of 3 PhD students: @fandel_lin, @weiwei_duan, and @ZekunLi0323! @USCViterbi @USC

Critical minerals are essential to national security, but their locations are locked in scanned maps. Our long-time ML research for maps can help! We won 1st place in the DARPA AI for Critical Mineral Assessment Competition! criticalminerals.darpa.mil/L… @UMNComputerSci @USC_ISI
