Hi! The workshop will be mostly focused on scaling up pre-training datasets and optimising formatting that is consistent with other Major TOM datasets and efficient to load onto GPU during AI training. Given that the workshop is only about 3 hours we won’t be able to cover provenance.

🥳 Welcome onboard Paul Borne--Pons! Paul is joining us for a few months before starting his PhD on the topic of massively multi-modal 3D cloud observations. 😶‍🌫️ Paul will work on improving the efficiency of our cloud top height estimation in Clouds Decoded using DNN emulation!

COP GEN Beta - a Hugging Face Space by mikonvergence
Official demo for the COP-GEN-Beta model
000
Miko Czerkawski @mikonvergence.bsky.social · 21/04/2025
Why is it Beta? Because thumbnails are a low-cost representation that scales well and we managed to develop this prototype quite fast. For now, we wanted to showcase the prototype and make it available to the community for a test before COP-GEN arrives!
100
Miko Czerkawski @mikonvergence.bsky.social · 21/04/2025
How is it universal? COP-GEN learns a joint generative process of all modalities, which means that it can reconstruct data from any subset of present observations.

Miko Czerkawski @mikonvergence.bsky.social · 21/04/2025
Today we release a prototype of COP-GEN - a universal generative model for Copernicus data. 𝐂𝐎𝐏-𝐆𝐄𝐍-𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐚 is a model trained globally on the thumbnails of the Major TOM Core datasets, including Sentinel-2 L1C, Sentinel-2 L2A, Sentinel-1 RTC, and COP-DEM GLO-30.

We think that the key way of overcoming these barriers is to bring several communities closer together that don't often get to meet (AI/ML, EO & data providers) and thus, we invite you to attend and submit your contributions to the workshop. (3/3)
