Tracking Changes on Earth’s Surface: AI Tracks Land Change from Satellite Imagery
Computer vision systems are scanning satellite photos to track construction on the Earth’s surface — an exercise in behavior recognition on a global scale.

Computer vision systems are scanning satellite photos to track construction on the Earth’s surface — an exercise in behavior recognition on a global scale.

Researchers have shown that it’s possible to train a computer vision model effectively on around 66 percent of the pixels in each training image. New work used 25 percent, saving computation and boosting performance to boot.

If you’re standing close to others at a party, it’s likely you have something in common. This is the idea behind using k-means clustering to split data points into groups. Whether the groups formed via human agency or some other force, this algorithm will find them.

Vision Transformer (ViT) outperformed convolutional neural networks in image classification, but it required more training data. New work enabled ViT and its variants to outperform other architectures with less training data.

Most U.S. state agencies use AI without limits or oversight. An investigative report probed reasons why efforts to rein them in have made little headway. Since 2018, nearly every proposed bill aimed at studying or controlling how state agencies use automated decision systems.

In 2021, transformers were harnessed to discover drugs, recognize speech, and paint pictures — and much more.
