A new benchmark, GeoShapley, has been developed to evaluate how well location encoders in machine learning capture spatial effects. The benchmark tests eleven encoders from the TorchSpatial framework across different scales (grid, county, global) and conditions. Results indicate that while primary coefficient recovery is consistently high, secondary coefficient recovery is more scale-dependent, with raw coordinates remaining competitive. AI
IMPACT Provides a new tool for evaluating the spatial understanding capabilities of machine learning models, potentially improving geographic data representation.
