• Abstract: Regional socioeconomic indicators are critical across various domains, yet their acquisition can be costly. Inferring global socioeconomic indicators from a limited number of regional samples is essential for enhancing management and sustainability in urban areas and human settlements. Current inference methods typically rely on spatial interpolation based on the assumption of spatial continuity, which does not adequately address the complex variations present within regional spaces. In this paper, we present GeoHG, the first space-aware socioeconomic indicator inference method that utilizes a heterogeneous graph-based structure to represent geospace for non-continuous inference. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of GeoHG in comparison to existing methods, achieving an $R^2$ score exceeding 0.8 under extreme data scarcity with a masked ratio of 95\%.

  In Earth sciences, unobserved factors exhibit non-stationary distributions, causing the relationships between features and targets to display spatial heterogeneity. In geographic machine learning tasks, conventional statistical learning methods often struggle to capture spatial heterogeneity. We propose a novel perspective - that is, simultaneously modeling common features across different locations alongside spatial differences using deep neural networks.

We find that GeoConformal holds potential not only for geographic knowledge discovery but also for guiding the design of future GeoAI models.

  We propose a novel approach combining millions of citizen science species observations with textual descriptions from Wikipedia. Our framework maps locations, species, and text descriptions into a common space, enabling zero-shot range estimation from textual descriptions. Our approach also acts as a strong prior when combined with observational data, resulting in more accurate range estimation with less data.

• Spatial Heterophily Aware Graph Neural Networks [35.95622680895503]
  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been broadly applied in many urban applications upon formulating a city as an urban graph whose nodes are urban objects like regions or points of interest. Recently, a few enhanced GNN architectures have been developed to tackle heterophily graphs where connected nodes are dissimilar. However, urban graphs usually can be observed to possess a unique spatial heterophily property; that is, the dissimilarity of neighbors at different spatial distances can exhibit great diversity. We propose a metric, named Spatial Diversity Score, to quantitatively measure the spatial heterophily and show how it can influence the performance of GNN
