IS-Count

IS-Count pipeline
Compared to the exhaustive approach, IS-Count largely reduces the number of satellite images and human annotations while achieving a high accuracy.
Visualization
Visualization of distributions in Africa. The proposal distribution learned from the population density raster (Subfig. (c)) represents the ground truth building distribution (Subfig. (d)) quite well. In the most ideal case, we want the proposal distribution to be proportional to the ground truth.

Metadata Shaping

Metadata Shaping is a simple and effective approach to enhance LMs with knowledge. The method involves inserting readily available entity metadata into examples based on mutual information, and training on the shaped data.

Metadata Shaping
Metadata Shaping shifts the weights of the pretrained model usefully to the metadata token.
