On the agenda

  1. Large Earth Foundation Models

    May. 17 '24, 09:00am
    Session
    The Forum (South)

    The emergence of Generative AI is perhaps the greatest technology advancement since the last SatSummit. Large Earth Models are emerging that draw from similar approaches as Large Language Models (LLMs). These Large Earth Models can potentially revolutionize how we derive earth insights. This session will review the Foundation Models approach, which differs from prior AI approaches, and share several promising implementations.
