Anaximander: Interactively Running Geospatial Deep Learning Models on Any Compute Backend
Satej S. Soman, Akram Zaytar, Girmaw A. Tadesse +5
Applying deep learning models to satellite imagery from within geographic information systems (GIS) remains high-friction for remote sensing practitioners. Models arrive in incompa…
GeoAI Agency Primitives
Akram Zaytar, Rohan Sawahn, Caleb Robinson +5
We present ongoing research on agency primitives for GeoAI assistants -- core capabilities that connect Foundation models to the artifact-centric, human-in-the-loop workflows where…
TEMPO: Global Temporal Building Density and Height Estimation from Satellite Imagery
Tammy Glazer, Gilles Q. Hacheme, Akram Zaytar +9
We present TEMPO, a global, temporally resolved dataset of building density and height derived from high-resolution satellite imagery using deep learning models. We pair building f…
Optimizing Cloud-to-GPU Throughput for Deep Learning With Earth Observation Data
Akram Zaytar, Caleb Robinson, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse +5
Training deep learning models on petabyte-scale Earth observation (EO) data requires separating compute resources from data storage. However, standard PyTorch data loaders cannot k…
GeoVision Labeler: Zero-Shot Geospatial Classification with Vision and Language Models
Gilles Quentin Hacheme, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Caleb Robinson +3
Classifying geospatial imagery remains a major bottleneck for applications such as disaster response and land-use monitoring-particularly in regions where annotated data is scarce…
Sims: An Interactive Tool for Geospatial Matching and Clustering
Akram Zaytar, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Caleb Robinson +6
Acquiring, processing, and visualizing geospatial data requires significant computing resources, especially for large spatio-temporal domains. This challenge hinders the rapid disc…
Local vs. Global: Local Land-Use and Land-Cover Models Deliver Higher Quality Maps
Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Caleb Robinson, Charles Mwangi +7
In 2023, 58.0% of the African population experienced moderate to severe food insecurity, with 21.6% facing severe food insecurity. Land-use and land-cover maps provide crucial insi…
Distribution Shifts at Scale: Out-of-distribution Detection in Earth Observation
Burak Ekim, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Caleb Robinson +4
Training robust deep learning models is crucial in Earth Observation, where globally deployed models often face distribution shifts that degrade performance, especially in low-data…
Analyzing Decades-Long Environmental Changes in Namibia Using Archival Aerial Photography and Deep Learning
Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Caleb Robinson, Gilles Quentin Hacheme +5
This study explores object detection in historical aerial photographs of Namibia to identify long-term environmental changes. Specifically, we aim to identify key objects -- Waterh…
Bootstrapping Rare Object Detection in High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
Akram Zaytar, Caleb Robinson, Gilles Q. Hacheme +6
Rare object detection is a fundamental task in applied geospatial machine learning, however is often challenging due to large amounts of high-resolution satellite or aerial imagery…
Weak Labeling for Cropland Mapping in Africa
Gilles Quentin Hacheme, Akram Zaytar, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse +4
Cropland mapping can play a vital role in addressing environmental, agricultural, and food security challenges. However, in the context of Africa, practical applications are often…
English2Gbe: A multilingual machine translation model for {Fon/Ewe}Gbe
Gilles Hacheme
Language is an essential factor of emancipation. Unfortunately, most of the more than 2,000 African languages are low-resourced. The community has recently used machine translation…
