Researchers have developed a novel semi-supervised deep learning method for tree species classification that integrates multi-sensor Earth observation data with expert ecological knowledge. This approach utilizes hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and airborne laser scanning (ALS), combined with biologically inspired pseudo-labeling over a canopy graph. The method incorporates ecological priors, constructed with LLM assistance and citation constraints, encoded as a cohabitation matrix. Experiments demonstrated significant improvements in classification accuracy, with macro-F1 scores increasing by 6.01 and 4.85 percentage points over existing pipelines. AI
IMPACT This research demonstrates how LLMs can be leveraged to encode expert knowledge, potentially improving accuracy in specialized scientific classification tasks.
