Four popular sources of labelled data for machine learning
In remote sensing, machine learning models are powerful instruments for classifying land cover and land use, identifying vegetation cover, determining soil types, detecting changes in the landscape, and more.
However, these models need to be fed labelled data as training material for optimum performance. This data type allows machine learning mode…Paris, C. 5 min

How can machine learning bias affect GIS applications?
Machine learning can be helpful to society in a number of ways, but it is known to sometimes propagate unwelcome prejudice. This phenomenon is called machine learning bias, and many people are growing increasingly concerned about it. A well-known case involves facial recognition, which tends to identify people of certain colours better than others…
