AxiomOcean: Forecasting the Three-Dimensional Structure of the Upper Ocean

Short-term ocean forecast skill depends strongly on the three-dimensional ocean structure of the upper ocean, which governs stratification, subsurface heat storage, and the response of the ocean to atmospheric forcing. However, AI ocean forecasting models often fail to preserve this vertical structure, resulting in over-smoothed subsurface features and weak physical consistency under strong forcing. Here, we present AxiomOcean, a global AI ocean forecasting model that explicitly represents vertical hierarchy and cross-layer dependence within the water column. By combining a fully three-dimensional encoder-backbone-decoder architecture with surface atmospheric forcing, AxiomOcean jointly predicts upper-ocean temperature, salinity, and three-dimensional currents at global 1/12{\deg} resolution down to 643 m depth. In 10-day forecasts, AxiomOcean outperforms an advanced AI comparison model across variables and lead times, reducing day-1 RMSE by approximately 20 to 35% while maintaining higher anomaly correlation. The gain is not achieved through excessive smoothing: AxiomOcean better preserves eddy kinetic energy, temperature and salinity variance. Its advantage also extends through the water column and remains evident across the equatorial Pacific, Kuroshio Extension, and Southern Ocean, yielding a more realistic reconstruction of upper-ocean heat content. These results show that explicitly preserving upper-ocean three-dimensional structure can improve both forecast accuracy and physical fidelity in AI ocean prediction.

GeoJSON Agents:A Multi-Agent LLM Architecture for Geospatial Analysis-Function Calling vs Code Generation

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated substantial progress in task automation and natural language understanding. However, without domain expertise in geographic information science (GIS), they continue to encounter limitations including reduced accuracy and unstable performance when processing complex tasks. To address these challenges, we propose GeoJSON Agents-a novel multi-agent LLM architecture specifically designed for geospatial analysis. This framework transforms natural language instructions into structured GeoJSON operations through two LLM enhancement techniques: Function Calling and Code Generation. The architecture integrates three core components: task parsing, agent collaboration, and result integration. The Planner agent systematically decomposes user-defined tasks into executable subtasks, while Worker agents perform spatial data processing and analysis either by invoking predefined function APIs or by generating and executing Python-based analytical code. The system produces reusable, standards-compliant GeoJSON outputs through iterative refinement. To evaluate both approaches, we constructed a benchmark comprising 70 tasks spanning basic, intermediate, and advanced complexity levels, conducting experiments with OpenAI's GPT-4o as the core model. Results indicate that the Code Generation-based agent achieved 97.14% accuracy, while the Function Calling-based agent attained 85.71%-both significantly outperforming the best-performing general-purpose model (48.57%). Comparative analysis reveals Code Generation offers superior flexibility for complex, open-ended tasks, whereas Function Calling provides enhanced execution stability for structured operations. This study represents the first systematic integration of GeoJSON data with a multi-agent LLM framework and provides empirical evidence comparing two mainstream enhancement methodologies in geospatial context.

ShapefileGPT: A Multi-Agent Large Language Model Framework for Automated Shapefile Processing

Vector data is one of the two core data structures in geographic information science (GIS), essential for accurately storing and representing geospatial information. Shapefile, the most widely used vector data format, has become the industry standard supported by all major geographic information systems. However, processing this data typically requires specialized GIS knowledge and skills, creating a barrier for researchers from other fields and impeding interdisciplinary research in spatial data analysis. Moreover, while large language models (LLMs) have made significant advancements in natural language processing and task automation, they still face challenges in handling the complex spatial and topological relationships inherent in GIS vector data. To address these challenges, we propose ShapefileGPT, an innovative framework powered by LLMs, specifically designed to automate Shapefile tasks. ShapefileGPT utilizes a multi-agent architecture, in which the planner agent is responsible for task decomposition and supervision, while the worker agent executes the tasks. We developed a specialized function library for handling Shapefiles and provided comprehensive API documentation, enabling the worker agent to operate Shapefiles efficiently through function calling. For evaluation, we developed a benchmark dataset based on authoritative textbooks, encompassing tasks in categories such as geometric operations and spatial queries. ShapefileGPT achieved a task success rate of 95.24%, outperforming the GPT series models. In comparison to traditional LLMs, ShapefileGPT effectively handles complex vector data analysis tasks, overcoming the limitations of traditional LLMs in spatial analysis. This breakthrough opens new pathways for advancing automation and intelligence in the GIS field, with significant potential in interdisciplinary data analysis and application contexts.

From Geometric Mimicry to Comprehensive Generation: A Context-Informed Multimodal Diffusion Model for Urban Morphology Synthesis

Urban morphology is fundamental to determining urban functionality and vitality. Prevailing simulation methods, however, often oversimplify morphological generation as a geometric problem, lacking a profound understanding of urban semantics and geographical context. To address this limitation, this study proposes ControlCity, a diffusion model that achieves comprehensive urban morphology generation through multimodal information fusion. We first constructed a quadruple dataset comprising ``image-text-metadata-building footprints" from 22 cities worldwide. ControlCity utilizes these multidimensional information as joint control conditions, where an enhanced ControlNet architecture encodes spatial constraints from images, while text and metadata provide semantic guidance and geographical priors respectively, collectively directing the generation process. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to unimodal baselines, this method achieves significant advantages in morphological fidelity, with visual error (FID) reduced by 71.01%, reaching 50.94, and spatial overlap (MIoU) improved by 38.46%, reaching 0.36. Furthermore, the model demonstrates robust knowledge generalization and controllability, enabling cross-city style transfer and zero-shot generation for unknown cities. Ablation studies further reveal the distinct roles of images, text, and metadata in the generation process. This study confirms that multimodal fusion is crucial for achieving the transition from ``geometric mimicry" to ``understanding-based comprehensive generation," providing a novel paradigm for urban morphology research and applications.

Evaluating Large Language Models on Spatial Tasks: A Multi-Task Benchmarking Study

The emergence of large language models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and others highlights the importance of evaluating their diverse capabilities, ranging from natural language understanding to code generation. However, their performance on spatial tasks has not been thoroughly assessed. This study addresses this gap by introducing a new multi-task spatial evaluation dataset designed to systematically explore and compare the performance of several advanced models on spatial tasks. The dataset includes twelve distinct task types, such as spatial understanding and simple route planning, each with verified and accurate answers. We evaluated multiple models, including OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-4o, ZhipuAI's glm-4, Anthropic's claude-3-sonnet-20240229, and MoonShot's moonshot-v1-8k, using a two-phase testing approach. First, we conducted zero-shot testing. Then, we categorized the dataset by difficulty and performed prompt-tuning tests. Results show that gpt-4o achieved the highest overall accuracy in the first phase, with an average of 71.3%. Although moonshot-v1-8k slightly underperformed overall, it outperformed gpt-4o in place name recognition tasks. The study also highlights the impact of prompt strategies on model performance in specific tasks. For instance, the Chain-of-Thought (CoT) strategy increased gpt-4o's accuracy in simple route planning from 12.4% to 87.5%, while a one-shot strategy improved moonshot-v1-8k's accuracy in mapping tasks from 10.1% to 76.3%.

LOGCAN++: Adaptive Local-global class-aware network for semantic segmentation of remote sensing imagery

Remote sensing images usually characterized by complex backgrounds, scale and orientation variations, and large intra-class variance. General semantic segmentation methods usually fail to fully investigate the above issues, and thus their performances on remote sensing image segmentation are limited. In this paper, we propose our LOGCAN++, a semantic segmentation model customized for remote sensing images, which is made up of a Global Class Awareness (GCA) module and several Local Class Awareness (LCA) modules. The GCA module captures global representations for class-level context modeling to reduce the interference of background noise. The LCA module generates local class representations as intermediate perceptual elements to indirectly associate pixels with the global class representations, targeting at dealing with the large intra-class variance problem. In particular, we introduce affine transformations in the LCA module for adaptive extraction of local class representations to effectively tolerate scale and orientation variations in remotely sensed images. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets show that our LOGCAN++ outperforms current mainstream general and remote sensing semantic segmentation methods and achieves a better trade-off between speed and accuracy.

House Price Valuation Model Based on Geographically Neural Network Weighted Regression: The Case Study of Shenzhen, China

Confronted with the spatial heterogeneity of real estate market, some traditional research utilized Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) to estimate the house price. However, its kernel function is non-linear, elusive, and complex to opt bandwidth, the predictive power could also be improved. Consequently, a novel technique, Geographical Neural Network Weighted Regression (GNNWR), has been applied to improve the accuracy of real estate appraisal with the help of neural networks. Based on Shenzhen house price dataset, this work conspicuously captures the weight distribution of different variants at Shenzhen real estate market, which GWR is difficult to materialize. Moreover, we focus on the performance of GNNWR, verify its robustness and superiority, refine the experiment process with 10-fold cross-validation, extend its application area from natural to socioeconomic geospatial data. It's a practical and trenchant way to assess house price, and we demonstrate the effectiveness of GNNWR on a complex socioeconomic dataset.
