The prolific Anil Madhavapeddy from the University of Cambridge, behind many key outputs including OCaml, Docker, Xen, among others, ran a hackathon on geospatial AI as part of the AI summit. The hackathon covered:
- TESSERA, a leading remote sensing foundation model that is beating all benchmarks on tasks like crop classification, biomass estimation
- Latest happenings with cloud-native geospatial formats like Zarr and Geoparquets
- CoRE stack and our unique approach of representing landscapes as composed of spatial entities nested and connect with one another
See Anil’s notes from the hackathon. The event was sponsored by OpenUK and partners including FOSS United, Aapti, Factly, SLFC, and more friends.
Anil also gave a super-engaging talk on TESSERA at IIT Delhi the next day.
