The Center is thrilled to announce that Research Associate Denys Godwin on 01st April 2024 received a Mini Research Award from The FARR<\/a> (FAIR in ML, AI Readiness, and Reproducibility) Research Coordination Network! Denys Godwin received his bachelor’s in international political economics from Beloit College in 2016 and recently received his Master\u2019s in Geographic Information Science (GIS) program from Clark University. His areas of research interest include geospatial foundation AI models, mapping renewable energy development and its relationship to land use change, and urban land use change, and transit-oriented development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denys\u2019 project, \u201cMapping Rooftop Solar across New England,\u201d aims to create an open-access, high-quality, multi-imagery training dataset for rooftop solar panel detection through a community \u201cMapathon\u201d at Clark University. This data will enhance AI readiness in earth sciences by publishing a new open-access benchmark, training students to label ariel imagery, and introducing them to the world of AI. Publishing this dataset will be an opportunity for many students to learn about AI and its readiness in the earth sciences. Once the dataset is complete, it will be published for public use, he then plans to publish a paper which can be a benchmark training data and model at NeurIPs Datasets and Benchmarks Track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will be ongoing for one whole year until March 2025 and the presentation for which shall be on 09th and 10th Oct 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to witness Denys\u2019 project outcomes and are proud of the effort he has put in. We encourage you to learn more about Denys\u2019 research and the Center for Geospatial Analytics by visiting our Centers\u2019 website here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
