A new research paper explores the transferability of self-supervised geospatial foundation models (GeoFMs) to various downstream tasks. The study evaluates six GeoFMs across classification, regression, and segmentation benchmarks, finding that model performance rankings vary significantly depending on the task and adaptation strategy. Analysis indicates that task-relevant information is often more accessible in intermediate layers of transformer models rather than final embeddings, and that adaptation techniques like decoder design and fine-tuning can be as influential as the choice of GeoFM itself. AI
IMPACT Findings suggest that careful consideration of adaptation strategies is crucial for maximizing the utility of pre-trained geospatial models.
