Description:
AAG 2023 GeoAI and Deep Learning Symposium: Spatially Explicit Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence I
Description:
As Michael Goodchild puts it, “A model is said to be spatially explicit when it differentiates behaviors and predictions according to spatial locations”. In the context of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), we see the need for spatially explicit ML and AI models focusing on better ways to design ML/AI model architectures for consuming spatial information by incorporating spatial knowledge and spatial inductive bias such as spatial heterogeneity, spatial autocorrelation, map projection, and so on. The recent decade has witnessed many advancements of spatially explicit ML and AI technology for various GeoAI problems such as geographic question answering, geographic knowledge graph summarization, POI distribution modeling, trajectory prediction, traffic forecasting, geo-aware fine-grained species recognition, building pattern recognition, map generalization, remote sensing image classification, terrain feature recognition, and so on. However, adding spatial inductive bias to make spatially explicit models will yield more complex ML/AI model architectures. Investigating the trade-off between designing a spatially explicit ML/AI architecture versus a more general setup that would have to learn to value space implicitly is an important research question for the spatial data science and GeoAI community.
In this session, we welcome submissions broadly contributing to the research on GeoAI and spatially explicit AI/ML. AI/ML algorithm design and developments on geospatial data are particularly welcome.
