• Abstract: The difficulty of monitoring biodiversity at fine scales and over large areas limits ecological knowledge and conservation efforts. To fill this gap, Species Distribution Models (SDMs) predict species across space from spatially explicit features. Yet, they face the challenge of integrating the rich but heterogeneous data made available over the past decade, notably millions of opportunistic species observations and standardized surveys, as well as multi-modal remote sensing data. In light of that, we have designed and developed a new European-scale dataset for SDMs at high spatial resolution (10-50 m), including more than 10k species (i.e., most of the European flora). The dataset comprises 5M heterogeneous Presence-Only records and 90k exhaustive Presence-Absence survey records, all accompanied by diverse environmental rasters (e.g., elevation, human footprint, and soil) that are traditionally used in SDMs. In addition, it provides Sentinel-2 RGB and NIR satellite images with 10 m resolution, a 20-year time-series of climatic variables, and satellite time-series from the Landsat program. In addition to the data, we provide an openly accessible SDM benchmark (hosted on Kaggle), which has already attracted an active community and a set of strong baselines for single predictor/modality and multimodal approaches. All resources, e.g., the dataset, pre-trained models, and baseline methods (in the form of notebooks), are available on Kaggle, allowing one to start with our dataset literally with two mouse clicks.

  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.

  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.

• Sketch and Scale: Geo-distributed tSNE and UMAP [75.44887265789056]
  Running machine learning analytics over geographically distributed datasets is a rapidly arising problem. We introduce a novel framework: Sketch and Scale (SnS) It leverages a Count Sketch data structure to compress the data on the edge nodes, aggregates the reduced size sketches on the master node, and runs vanilla tSNE or UMAP on the summary. We show this technique to be fully parallel, scale linearly in time, logarithmically in memory, and communication, making it possible to analyze datasets with many millions, potentially billions of data points, spread across several data centers around the globe.
