CTOnews.com August 4 news, according to foreign media Fagen Wasanni Technologies reported that IBM recently announced a joint NASA, on the open source AI platform Hugging Face, using IBM's watsonx.ai combined with NASA satellite data to build an open source geospatial AI basic model. Officials say the model will be the largest geospatial base model on Hugging Face and the first open-source AI base model built in partnership with NASA.

watsonx.ai In climate science, obtaining up-to-date data remains a major challenge as environmental conditions change daily. NASA estimates that scientists will harvest 250,000 terabytes of data from new missions by 2024, but scientists and researchers still face obstacles in analyzing these large data sets, so IBM and NASA believe that AI can improve this situation.

As part of its Space Act Agreement with NASA, IBM earlier this year set out to build an AI base model for geospatial data, watsonx.ai.

watsonx.ai This model was jointly trained by IBM and NASA over a year using Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 satellite data, and researchers are continuing to refine the model, which is now 15% more efficient than when it was first released.

In addition, officials say the model has made some fine adjustments to the annotated data, and the base model can be used for tasks such as tracking deforestation, predicting crop yields or detecting and monitoring greenhouse gases. IBM and NASA researchers, working simultaneously with Clark University, added scientific applications such as "time-series segmentation" and "similarity studies" to the model.

A commercial version of IBM's watsonx.ai geospatial model will be available later this year through IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite (EIS). The open source version is currently available on Hugging Face, and interested CTOnews.com friends can visit it here.

Sriram Raghavan, vice president of AI at IBM Research, said: "The critical role of open source technology in accelerating discovery in critical areas such as climate change has never been clearer. "

IBM claims that with its reusable AI system, combined with NASA's Earth satellite data warehouse, humans can harness the power of collaboration to implement faster, more impactful solutions to improve our planet.

Jeff Boudier, Hugging Face's head of product and growth, said: "AI is still a science-driven field, and science can only progress through information sharing and collaboration, which is why open source AI and model datasets are important for AI sustainability to ensure that technology benefits as many people as possible." "

Kevin Murphy, NASA's chief science data officer, said: "We believe that fundamental models have the potential to change the way observational data is analyzed and help us better understand the planet, so that together we can help humanity develop." "
