🔥 New #ICML2026 Paper accepted 🔥 by Arjun Rao with Tessa Ooms, Ruth Castro, @kklmmr @david_rolnick Paper: openreview.net/forum?id=eWQQ… Code: github.com/arjunarao619/Slep… TL;DR: We propose Slepian functions as localized, spatially concentrated basis functions for regional location encoding. Building on spherical harmonics, Slepians allow location encoders to allocate higher resolution where it is most needed — for example, in regions with denser observations or where the underlying geospatial field varies at finer spatial scales, such as land compared to oceans. This work connects geospatial AI, implicit neural representations, and functional modeling of Earth system data fields.

We an amazing #ML4RS workshop at @iclr_conf! Thanks @hannah_kerner for the (remote) organization lead. And special thanks to our sponsors @GoogleDeepMind @allen_ai and @sig_gis for enabling 🏆 two best paper 🏆 awards! ⬇️⬇️ and two student travel support grants! more info at ml-for-rs.github.io/iclr2025…

The second keynote of @xiaoxiang_zhu is kicking off the afternoon session of the #ML4RS workshop at #ICLR. The invited talk of Konstantin Klemmer (Microsoft) is upcoming with additional 4 contributed talks and the second poster session with 13 posters!
