Sathira Silva, Abrham Kahsay Gebreselasie, Muhammad Umer Sheikh +3
Learning grounded word meaning from natural experience requires resolving two ambiguities in infant-view recordings: when the named referent appears and where it is in a cluttered…
MMClima: A Framework for Multimodal Climate Science Data and Evaluation
Muhammad Umer Sheikh, Hassan Abid, Khawar Shehzad +2
Climate change research increasingly requires AI systems that reason across text, dynamic visual content, and scientific figures, yet existing climate QA benchmarks are small, most…
GCA Framework: A GCC Countries-Grounded Dataset and Agentic Pipeline for Climate Decision Support
Muhammad Umer Sheikh, Khawar Shehzad, Salman Khan +2
Climate decision-making in the GCC states increasingly demands systems that can translate heterogeneous scientific and policy evidence into actionable guidance, yet general-purpose…
Agentic AI for Remote Sensing: Technical Challenges and Research Directions
Muhammad Akhtar Munir, Muhammad Umer Sheikh, Akashah Shabbir +5
Earth Observation (EO) is moving beyond static prediction toward multi-step analytical workflows that require coordinated reasoning over data, tools, and geospatial state. While fo…
