The project’s goal is to develop a software, which uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to predict changes in urban environments over time and space by analyzing multiple types of data.
It aims to integrate and analyze diverse spatiotemporal data sources, including population flows, traffic patterns, and building usage, to provide a comprehensive understanding and prediction of urban dynamics.
The software development involves learning from multimodal spatiotemporal data unique to urban settings, optimizing the model to infer long-term (diachronic) urban changes, and enhancing the model’s ability to provide explainable predictions while minimizing inaccuracies (hallucinations) through methods like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) integrated with GIS software.
