PhenoEmbed: Self-Supervised Multispectral UAV Time-Series Embeddings for Individual Tree Crown Phenology
Taimur Khan
Tree crowns are a challenging target for resilient AI because they are not static objects: their spectral response, internal texture, translucency, and apparent boundaries change s…
TiledAttention: a CUDA Tile SDPA Kernel for PyTorch
Taimur Khan
TiledAttention is a scaled dot-product attention (SDPA) forward operator for SDPA research on NVIDIA GPUs. Implemented in cuTile Python (TileIR) and exposed as a PyTorch-callable f…
FSKD: Monocular Forest Structure Inference via LiDAR-to-RGBI Knowledge Distillation
Taimur Khan, Hannes Feilhauer, Muhammad Jazib Zafar
Very High Resolution (VHR) forest structure data at individual-tree scale is essential for carbon, biodiversity, and ecosystem monitoring. Still, airborne LiDAR remains costly and…
BioAnalyst: A Foundation Model for Biodiversity
Athanasios Trantas, Martino Mensio, Stylianos Stasinos +4
Multimodal Foundation Models (FMs) offer a path to learn general-purpose representations from heterogeneous ecological data, easily transferable to downstream tasks. However, pract…
Three Stage Narrative Analysis; Plot-Sentiment Breakdown, Structure Learning and Concept Detection
Taimur Khan, Ramoza Ahsan, Mohib Hameed
Story understanding and analysis have long been challenging areas within Natural Language Understanding. Automated narrative analysis requires deep computational semantic represent…
Forecasting Smog Events Using ConvLSTM: A Spatio-Temporal Approach for Aerosol Index Prediction in South Asia
Taimur Khan
The South Asian Smog refers to the recurring annual air pollution events marked by high contaminant levels, reduced visibility, and significant socio-economic impacts, primarily af…
