Week 10 Interactive Session: Project Presentations & Synthesis

Showcase complete foundation model pipelines

Course Roadmap Mapping

This week’s work in the broader GFM plan.

Week Stage Focus You will build (geogfm) Library tools Outcome
10 Stage 3: Apply & Deploy Presentations & Synthesis Project deliverables (no new geogfm code required) β€” Present MVP builds, analysis, transition plan

Weekly goals

  • Synthesize architecture, training, and evaluation learnings
  • Present MVP results and insights
  • Outline next steps with Prithvi/scale-up

Session Outline

  • Concepts β†’ Components mapping
    • Model architecture β†’ models/gfm_vit.py
    • Pretraining objective β†’ models/gfm_mae.py + modules/losses/mae_loss.py
    • Training loop β†’ training/{optimizer.py, loop.py}
    • Evaluation β†’ evaluation/{visualization.py, metrics.py}
    • Applied tasks β†’ tasks/{classification.py, segmentation.py}
    • Inference β†’ inference/{sliding_window.py, tiling.py}
  • Deliverables checklist
    • Slides with pipeline diagram and key code references
    • Short demo: load a small batch, run MAE forward, show recon
    • One analysis figure (recon grid or PSNR curve)
    • What you would swap to scale (timm blocks, TorchGeo datasets, FlashAttention, HF hub)
