Happy Earth Week! 🌎🌍🌏 Today we released the first-ever global field boundary map in our open Fields of The World ecosystem, led by Taylor Geospatial & partners at Microsoft, @SCAI_ASU, Washington University St Louis, and @NASAHarvest Explore here 🔎 fieldsofthe.world/ftw-inference-…

Four days until the Machine Learning for Remote Sensing Workshop (ML4RS) at #ICLR2025 in Singapore! ml-for-rs.github.io/iclr2025/ Are you excited to dive into the latest ML for Earth and space? Join us April 27—proudly sponsored by @GoogleDeepMind, @allen_ai , and @sig_gis.

Meet Galileo (Global And Local flexIbLe Earth Observation): our new family of remote sensing foundation models that 🥇 ranks highest on benchmarks & is 🛰️ pretrained on 11 remote sensing datasets, ⿺ flexible to any input data shape, & 📉 optimized for large & small-scale objects

NASA Harvest had so many presenters in different sessions this week at #AGU24! We’re happy to share some of them with you over the next few days! Gedeon Muhawenayo is studying the impact of conflict on agricultural land in Sudan using machine learning & #EOData.

Our lab will have a busy week at #AGU24! See you there 🦾

That's a wrap for Spring 2024! 🎬 It's been a whirlwind semester including 🛰️ 1st CSE 598: Machine Learning for Remote Sensing class 🧠 first lab retreat 📜 4 undergrad thesis + 1 masters thesis defense 🎓 6 masters student graduations & 🆕 4 new PhD admits Proud of this team!🦾

"have remote sensing people not seen that Transformers are SOTA?" - Discussing some controversial questions 👿 with our @iclr_conf #ML4RS workshop with our panel "Beyond Benchmarks" with Nico Lang (@nicolangnl) Ramona Pelich, Stefan Lang (@Z_GIS1), Matej Batic (@matejbatic) #panelists" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ml-for-rs.github.io/iclr2024/#pane…

How do global land cover maps compare? How do we choose one? We evaluated cropland accuracy of 11 maps in 8 African countries & found low consensus (<0.5% cropland agreement). Low performance across all maps highlights the need for improved #ML methods. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Come join us at our spotlight 🤩 poster today at #ICLR2024. @kklmmr @ZbindenRobin, and I will present it in Hall B #266 Wed 8 May 4:30 p.m. 6:30 p.m. marcrusswurm.com/locationencode… paper: openreview.net/forum?id=Puddu… @devistuia @rolf_comma_e

only 6 days! until the ML4RS workshop at #ICLR24 in sunny Vienna 🇦🇹🌄 We are looking forward to awesome keynotes @sherwang and @damianborth, along with great panelists, orals, posters, and awards. All enabled by our sponsors @esa @hyperplan_eu @MSFTResearch @IEEE_GRSS @isprs!

I am recruiting a PhD intern to work with me @AIatMeta (GenAI) around LLMs, tool use, and / or the GAIA benchmark. Ideal profile: near the end of your PhD, willing to be based in Paris, starting in May/June 2024. DM if you’re interested!

We need #machinelearning for satellite data ("SatML") to address planetary-scale challenges 🌍 but mainstream ML is ill-suited to SatML data & contexts. It's time we recognize satellite data as a distinct modality for ML research to unlock its potential 🦾arxiv.org/abs/2402.01444

⏰ We extended the deadline for the @iclr_conf #ML4RS workshop! The new deadline is Feb 9th! 🙌 Thanks to @hyperplan_eu and @esa, we also have limited funding to help students travel to the conference: Please check the requirements on our website #travel-support" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ml-for-rs.github.io/iclr2024/#trav…

Hello 🗺️! We invite you to submit your 4-page research paper to the 2nd Machine Learning for Remote Sensing Workshop @ ICLR 2024 in Vienna on May 11th! ml-for-rs.github.io/iclr2024 We foster open discussion & welcome published, ongoing & preliminary works (papers are non-archival)
