This repo has some resources for the data-centric machine learning challenge, part of the Workshop on Machine Vision for Earth Observation (MVEO).
This repository uses TorchGeo and Lightning to train a U-Net to perform semantic segmentation on the DFC2022 dataset.
Participants of this challenge are asked to develop a ranking strategy that assigns a score to each sample from a pool of candidate examples based on each sample's importance to the training procedure. The generated score/ranking will then be used to select a core set of training samples to train a pre-defined classifier, in this case a U-Net. Success is measured by training the aforementioned classifier multiple times using training datasets of different sizes based on the given ranking/scores (for example, by training a model using the top 1000 and the top 500 samples) and calculating the average Jaccard index using an undisclosed test dataset for the trained models.

This challenge is based on the Data Fusion Contest 2022 dataset. You can download the dataset here. You will need to change the dataset path in the config.yaml file (datamodule.root_dir).
In this repo, the file train_coordinate_list.txt has the pool of candidate samples.
Each row of this file represents a candidate sample for the training and is composed of 5 columns:
< name of the city > < name of the image > < patch x coordinate > < patch y coordinate > < sample score (float from 0.0 to 1.0) >
Currently, all samples have the same score/importance (i.e., 1.0). As mentioned before, the main objective of the participants is to develop a ranking system that assigns different scores (from 0.0 to 1.0) to the candidate samples depending on their importance to the training procedure.
This repo also has the file val_image_list.txt which list the images that should be used for validation.
The final submission must be a file with all candidate samples, each with the same 5 columns, but varying the score depending on the importance of the example. This file must be sent to data-centric-challenge-mveo@googlegroups.com, with title [MVEO Challenge Submission TEAMNAME], where TEAMNAME should be the name of your team for the leaderboard.
