Spatial Lightning Talks UCSB - How do spatial sampling procedures affect the quality of data-driven models?

Abstract

Presenter at Spatial Lightning Talks UCSB 2023. Pitch abstract: As geospatial research gets increasingly more intertwined with Machine Learning, the rush to get ever-better metrics is now an everyday part of developing research. But are metrics such as AUC the end-all? Should we rely solely on them to evaluate our data-driven models? Can they be tweaked (in spatial contexts)?
