This guide provides a straightforward method for deploying local Python training scripts to AWS SageMaker. It details the four essential code modifications required to transition a `train.py` file from a local environment to the AWS cloud platform. The process aims to be efficient, enabling users to run their models on SageMaker with minimal complexity. AI

Researchers have developed a new method for mapping tomato cropping systems in California using Google DeepMind's AlphaEarth geospatial embeddings and a deep learning U-Net model. This approach eliminates the need for manual feature engineering, which was common in previous remote-sensing workflows. The model achieved high accuracy, with over 99% in pixel accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score on an independent test set. Uncertainty maps generated by the model were highest near field edges, indicating reliable predictions within field interiors. AI
