Abstract
Emerging advances in artificial intelligence, hardware accelerators, and big data processing architectures continue to reach the geospatial information sciences, with a transformative impact on many societal challenges. Recent breakthroughs in deep learning have brought forward an automated capability to learn representative features from massive and complex data, including text, images, or videos. In tandem, rapid innovations in sensing technologies are supporting the collection of geospatial data in even higher resolution and throughput, supporting the observation, mapping, and analysis of different events/phenomena over the earth's surface and in socioeconomic environments with unprecedented detail. Combined, these developments are offering the potential for breakthroughs in geographic knowledge discovery, impacting decision-making in areas such as humanitarian mapping, intelligent transportation systems, urban expansion analysis, health data analysis and epidemiology, the study of climate change, handling natural disasters, and the general monitoring of the earth's surface.
