The quest for a fair TimeGPT benchmark

At the end of yesterday's #TimeGPT for mobility post, we concluded that TimeGPT's trainingset probably included a copy of the popular BikeNYC timeseries dataset and that, therefore, we were not looking at a fair comparison ...

It has been an intensive and fruitful 2-day specialist meeting on Sociotechnical Foundations of #GeoAI and #SpatialDataScience with lots of discussions on key themes: sustainability, trust, bias, accountability, reproducibility, and explainability #XAI

It was a real pleasure and honor to be able to join the discussions and meet everyone in person here in Vienna

Our paper, Machine Learning Model Specification for Cataloging Spatio-Temporal Models, is now available online. It will be presented at the ACM SIGSPATIAL 2024 (GeoSearch'24) conference, which starts tomorrow in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. #ml #GeoAI #geochat
