Open Buildings Dataset Now Tracks Building Presence Over Time
By

An exciting update to our Open Buildings dataset. It now features building presence over time (as well as building height information). It does this by combining high resolution (50cm) but infrequent satellite images and low resolution (1000cm) but frequent (every 5 days). It… https://t.co/cswnXJIjAX pic.twitter.com/DjIxjZYYR5

Whale Bioacoustics Model Identifies Eight Distinct Species Calls
By
–
Human language LLMs are so passe. Read about this work on a whale bioacoustics model that can identify eight distinct species, including multiple calls for some of these species (e.g. the "biotwang" of the Bryde's whale). I'm going to say this until I'm blue in the face, but
