• Abstract: Mosquito habitat ranges are projected to expand due to climate change. This investigation aims to identify future mosquito habitats by analyzing preferred ecological conditions of mosquito larvae. After assembling a data set with atmospheric records and larvae observations, a neural network is trained to predict larvae counts from ecological inputs. Time series forecasting is conducted on these variables and climate projections are passed into the initial deep learning model to generate location-specific larvae abundance predictions. The results support the notion of regional ecosystem-driven changes in mosquito spread, with high-elevation regions in particular experiencing an increase in susceptibility to mosquito infestation.

  We propose VegeDiff for the geospatial vegetation forecasting task. VegeDiff is the first to employ a diffusion model to probabilistically capture the uncertainties in vegetation change processes. By capturing the uncertainties in vegetation changes and modeling the complex influence of relevant variables, VegeDiff outperforms existing deterministic methods.

  We deal with air quality observations in a city-wide network of ground monitoring stations. We propose a conditioning block that embeds past and future covariates into the current observations. We find that conditioning on future weather information has a greater impact than considering past traffic conditions.

  Given a set of locations where a species has been observed, the goal is to build a model to predict whether the species is present or absent at any location. Traditional methods struggle to take advantage of emerging large-scale crowdsourced datasets. We use Spatial Implicit Neural Representations (SINRs) to jointly estimate the geographical range of 47k species simultaneously.

We introduce new concept of cumulative Betti numbers and then integrate the cumulative Betti numbers as topological descriptors into three machine learning models.
