Thank you to everyone who attended this interactive workshop hosted by Associate Professor Dena Asta and Associate Professor Subhadeep Paul, which focused on emerging research directions in Spatial AI and representation learning for geographic and environmental data.

Dr. Yao-Yi Chiang lead discussion around autocorrelation-aware representation learning, spatiotemporal embedding construction, and the integration of structured geographic data with natural language. 

The workshop featured short research presentations from Ohio State faculty and graduate students working in spatial modeling, geospatial AI, multimodal learning, and environmental data science, including the Statistics Department's Professor Sebastian Kurtek, Doctoral Candidate Fangyi Wang, and Assistant Professor Isa Marques (as seen in the provided images).
