Project Geospatial is proud to host GeoSpark Analytic's Weekly Pulse as an exploratory trial to give you the latest updates on global events based on a unique Geospatial Technology. This week is narrated by Kevin Helm, Geospark’s Head of Business Development. The news is generated by GeoSpark's Hyperion application which gathers news from global sources, social media, economic sources, NGOs, and government in near-real-time. Hyperion translates, reads, geo-positions, and analyzes the information to find trends in the data, identify abnormalities, and analyze breaking events impact on local and regional stability levels. Listen in and find out more.

About Geospark Analytics Geopark Analytics was founded in 2017 to inventory the world's critical events to aid the decision making of our clients. By identifying and forecasting emerging global events at machine speed, Hyperion mitigates risk, recognizes threats, and leverages opportunities. Our insights stem from sourced data from space, social media, and news reporting with machine learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language generation.

In this interview, we have the pleasure of interviewing Nick Weir, Senior Data Scientist at CosmiQ and Challenge Manager at SpaceNet LLC. Nick gives us an update about the current SpaceNet Challenge, goes into how challenge tasks are selected and gets into a deeper discussion about the geospatial industry. Watch the show and check it out.  

About SpaceNet

SpaceNet, launched in August 2016 as an open innovation project offering a repository of freely available imagery with co-registered map features. Before SpaceNet, computer vision researchers had minimal options to obtain free, precision-labeled and high-resolution satellite imagery. Today, SpaceNet hosts datasets developed by its own team, along with data sets from projects like IARPA’s Functional Map of the World (fMoW).

About CosmiQ Works

Founded in 2015 as a technology challenge lab within In-Q-Tel (IQT), CosmiQ Works is an IQT Lab focused on developing, prototyping, and evaluating emerging open-source artificial intelligence capabilities for geospatial use cases. Artificial intelligence will fundamentally change how geospatial analytics is performed and CosmiQ Works helps accelerates the development and adoption of these technologies into deployable products. And by the way, it’s pronounced “Cosmic.”
