• Abstract summary: We propose a multi-modal, scalable framework that can estimate organic matter from remote sensing data. We leverage inherent structure in the data and train the model to discriminate among domains using contrastive learning. We shed light on the interpretability of the framework by identifying attributes that are important for improving generalization.

• Abstract: Monitoring organic matter is pivotal for maintaining soil health and can help inform sustainable soil management practices. While sensor-based soil information offers higher-fidelity and reliable insights into organic matter changes, sampling and measuring sensor data is cost-prohibitive. We propose a multi-modal, scalable framework that can estimate organic matter from remote sensing data, a more readily available data source while leveraging sparse soil information for improving generalization. Using the sensor data, we preserve underlying causal relations among sensor attributes and organic matter. Simultaneously we leverage inherent structure in the data and train the model to discriminate among domains using contrastive learning. This causal and contrastive constraint minimization ensures improved generalization and adaptation to other domains. We also shed light on the interpretability of the framework by identifying attributes that are important for improving generalization. Identifying these key soil attributes that affect organic matter will aid in efforts to standardize data collection efforts.

  Multi-source spatial point data prediction is crucial in fields like environmental monitoring and natural resource management. Existing models in this area often fall short due to their domain-specific nature and lack a strategy for integrating information from various sources. We introduce an innovative multi-source spatial point data prediction framework that adeptly aligns information from varied sources without relying on ground truth labels.

  We argue to rethink the sensor's dependency modeling from two hierarchies: regional and global. We generate representative and common-temporal patterns as global nodes to reflect a global dependency between sensors. In pursuit of the generality of reality of node representations, we incorporate a Meta GCN to propagate and global nodes in the physical data space.

  We address the source-free domain adaptation problem, where the source pretrained model is adapted to the target domain in the absence of source data. Our method is based on the observation that target data, which might not align with the source domain classifier, still forms clear clusters. We demonstrate that this local structure can be efficiently captured by considering the local neighbors, the reciprocal neighbors, and the expanded neighborhood.
