Integrating Deep Learning with GIS – GeoAI – Medium

The field of Artificial Intelligence has made rapid progress in recent years, matching or in some cases, even surpassing human accuracy at tasks such as computer vision, natural language processing and machine translation. The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and GIS is creating massive opportunities that weren't possible before. AI, machine learning and deep learning are helping us make a better world by helping increase crop yield through precision agriculture, to fighting crime by deploying predictive policing models, to predicting when the next big storm will hit and being better equipped to handle it. Broadly speaking, AI is the ability of computers to perform a task that typically requires some level of human intelligence. Machine learning is one type of engine that makes this possible.
