Pre-training a vision transformer (ViT) for each large dataset/domain is becoming too expensive...💰

We introduce 🔥ExPLoRA🔥, to extend unsupervised pre-training for ViTs on new domains and create foundation models using very few parameters!

Can you give ChatGPT a location and ask it to predict average income, population density, or home value? 😮

…We present GeoLLM, a powerful method for extracting geospatial knowledge from LLMs!

Even rivals satellite imagery for prediction tasks 🔥

The tyranny of national averages: https://t.co/rdFur0Jzdq
Blog post with our excellent summer intern @ApoorvaRed. We tend to measure poverty at the national level but this hides huge subnational variation. New methods and data are starting to allow us to do better.
