👌 In "The City in a Bottle", we explored how to develop a machinic ekphrasis of urban imagery with Vision-Language models. With a concept bottleneck for visual reasoning, specialized urban knowledge based on foundational literature . By @darioneguer.bsky.social & A.Alfarano. To be published soon!

🤌 Using synthetic datasets, we revealed AI's understanding of urban structures globally with the project "World GIST" (Darío Negueruela and Iacopo Neri). Findings were shared at the Royal Geographical Society Annual Conference.
