From field-scale to large-scale spectral libraries: Tabular foundation models in soil spectroscopy
Viacheslav Barkov, Jonas Schmidinger, Robin Gebbers +1
Visible and near-infrared (vis-NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy enable rapid, cost-effective prediction of soil properties. Yet, translating high-dimensional, highly collin…
Rejections Based on Predictive Uncertainty Enable Reliable Routine Soil Spectroscopy
Jonas Schmidinger, Robin Gebbers, Marc-Olivier Gasser +3
Soil properties relevant to agricultural and environmental applications are conventionally measured using elaborate laboratory methods involving physical and chemical processing. W…
Modern Neural Networks for Small Tabular Datasets: The New Default for Field-Scale Digital Soil Mapping?
Viacheslav Barkov, Jonas Schmidinger, Robin Gebbers +1
In the field of pedometrics, tabular machine learning is the predominant method for soil property prediction from remote and proximal soil sensing data, forming a central component…
Kriging prior Regression: A Case for Kriging-Based Spatial Features with TabPFN in Soil Mapping
Jonas Schmidinger, Viacheslav Barkov, Sebastian Vogel +2
Machine learning and geostatistics are two fundamentally different frameworks for predicting and spatially mapping soil properties. Geostatistics leverages the spatial structure of…
Mapping and Classification of Trees Outside Forests using Deep Learning
Moritz Lucas, Hamid Ebrahimy, Viacheslav Barkov +3
Trees Outside Forests (TOF) play an important role in agricultural landscapes by supporting biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and regulating microclimates. Yet, most studies have…
LimeSoDa: A Dataset Collection for Benchmarking of Machine Learning Regressors in Digital Soil Mapping
J. Schmidinger, S. Vogel, V. Barkov +33
Digital soil mapping (DSM) relies on a broad pool of statistical methods, yet determining the optimal method for a given context remains challenging and contentious. Benchmarking s…
