Join us for the next Pangeo showcase this Wednesday!
Title: “Tensors and back again: Xbatcher for filtering, resampling, and assembling deep learning model output”
Speaker: Keenan Ganz
When: Wednesday, October 08, 2025 at 4 PM EDT
Where: Launch Meeting - Zoom
Abstract:
Python users interact with geospatial data as arrays with labeled coordinates that support efficient slicing, indexing, and mapping. However, deep learning libraries do not propagate this information into model output. Model operations also frequently modify the shape of input data by adding, removing, or changing the size of dimensions. This talk will demonstrate proposed additions to the xbatcher Python package that allow users to pass xarray objects into a deep learning workflow and re-assemble model output without losing metadata and coordinate labels. I will show new functionality on toy data, and then demonstrate an application of this workflow on training an autoencoder with topography data.
