About REO-1
Uniting ML, computer vision, and Earth sciences
The first REO workshop brought together researchers from machine learning, computer vision, and Earth sciences to advance robust, interpretable, and scalable models for monitoring our planet. It addressed opportunities arising from large-scale multimodal EO data and foundation models, fostering cross-disciplinary exchange between academia, industry, and policy.
Recent developments discussed included Google DeepMind's AlphaEarth, IBM–ESA's TerraMind, AllenAI's Earth System, and Meta's DINOv3.
Three guiding questions framed the workshop:
- Where are we, and how can we move forward as a community?
- What are the open challenges in learning representations of EO data?
- In the era of general-purpose one-for-all models, what is the role of specialized approaches?
Venue: University of Copenhagen South Campus, Njalsgade 76, Auditorium 4A.0.69, ground floor, 2300 København S. Not at the main EurIPS venue; closest metro station: Islands Brygge.
Call for Papers
Two submission tracks
Track 1 — Novel unpublished work
Up to 4 pages single column (excluding references) using the NeurIPS template. Short supplementary material allowed. Double-blind, non-archival.
Track 2 — Recently published work
Papers published after NeurIPS 2024 could be submitted as-is. Single-blind (anonymous reviewers only).
Accepted contributions were presented as posters; authors could indicate interest in a 10-minute oral talk.
