MoveBench benchmark launched for global wildlife movement forecasting

Researchers have introduced MoveBench, a new benchmark designed for forecasting wildlife movement on a global scale. This benchmark includes over 2.6 million GPS locations from more than 800 individuals across 110 species, along with extensive environmental data. The study found that current predictive methods generalize better to future time points than to unseen individuals, and that deep learning approaches do not consistently outperform simpler baselines. Environmental covariate selection was also identified as a significant factor influencing performance. AI
