Neural Information Processing Systems 

A.1 Datasets fMoWRGBFunctional Map of the World (fMoW) [17] is a dataset of high-resolution satellite image time series across the world, with a task of classification among 62 architecture categories such as airport, shipyard, and zoo. The license is provided here 2. Co-located images of different timestamps, or sequences, are provided in fMoW. They are of different length, and around 60% of the samples have length larger than 2. Readers can refer to the fMoW paper [17] for statistics on the distribution of sequence lengths. We construct a temporal version of fMoW by randomly associating every single image with two images of the same location but of different timestamps if possible. For a given spatial location loc, we define Tloc as the number of temporally distinct snapshots present in the dataset. We crop surface reflectance images from the Sentinel-2 (ESA) satellite (courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey), consisting of 90-day composites of images at the same locations as fMoW images (to reduce the impacts of cloud coverage). At each fMoW datapoint location, we collect a time series of Sentinel-2 images, using the provided geo-coordinate bounding boxes.
