Our latest on the cover of Nature- Large teams develop science and technology; small teams disrupt it. This means, with large-team science on the rise, both small and large teams are essential for a flourishing ecology of S&T. #scienceofscience nature.com/articles/s4158…

What does #geography teach us? For @urbanclio of Penn State Geography and @ics_psu, the field allows us to peek inside living rooms across the globe to spot trends and variations in how we live. Read more: ow.ly/Khmv30nGKrz

Inspired by a number of #StyleGAN takes, and in particular, thispersondoesnotexist.com from lucidrains, I spent the last couple days teaching myself enough to put together ThisAirBNBDoesNotExist.com. These listings are entirely invented; no aspect of them exists in the world.

A Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) built in TF 2.0 using either a subclassing style (left) or the Functional API (right). The Functional API example reuses the Sampling layer from the subclassing example. You can always mix-and-match these building blocks.

Building on prior work training deep RL agents to navigate cities without a map (deepmind.com/blog/learning-…), we can now teach virtual agents to follow navigation instructions in cities #streetlearn arxiv.org/abs/1903.00401 Karl Moritz Hermann @MateuszOnAi Piotr Mirowski @bsky.social raia hadsell

“A simple novelty search algorithm finds the solution in no time. The issue with standard RL is that they lack good exploration strategies, so if they rely too much on the reward function, they fail miserably.”

Shhh... kepler.gl for jupyter is coming too #keplergl Uber Engineering

Tried it on colab and the results look really nice!

hardmaru Geoffrey Hinton little known fact, the transformer is a close cousin of the capsule network, because soft attention is "routing by agreement".

Congratulations Alan's gone birding !

1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Spatial Gems (SpatialGems 2019): spatialgems.net A very interesting and practically useful theme! Share gems for processing spatial data.

Nice blog and it would be interesting to read together with the tile2vec paper from Neal Jean arxiv.org/abs/1805.02855 using satellite images 🗺️🛰️

After promising it's coming out in no time for about 2 months. I just published Introducing kepler.gl for Jupyter link.medium.com/GgJfMlAtOX. Still in beta, give it a try #keplergl @uberEng

I really appreciate the wonderful four years I have had in the lab under a great advisor :) So proud to be one of the first members in friendly cities lab lab!

Our latest publication with interested findings in political polarization spatially.

Made my day lol

New video: Simulating an epidemic. What happens when people avoid each other for the most part but still go to a common central location like a store? What if you can track and isolate cases, but 20% slip through the cracks? 50%? And much more. youtu.be/gxAaO2rsdIs

Our book chapter "Cities as Spatial and Social Networks: Towards a Spatio-Socio-Semantic Analysis Framework" is featured by American Association of Geographers Virtual Meeting 2021 and free to download until May 7, 2021. Luo Wei Xi Liu link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

I just had to have a go for GIScience... 😄 With contribution from Fernando Benitez-Paez
