A good course for spatial Machine Learning


There are some excellent primer and hands on courses for machine learning from the likes of deeplearning.ai and fast.ai. Neither of these courses, however, offer anything with regards to deep learning for spatial data.

Whilst there are some basic overviews from industry heavyweight ESRI, the ESRI tools rely on high cost paid licensing to operate, meaning high cost of learning.

So, HN bretheren, have you found any good resources for learning and understanding ML as applied to spatial data, preferably with the sort of interactive student delivery and course quality of the above? Could be desktop GIS based, Python, Jupyter Notebooks with Pytorch, TensorFlow, etc. Options are good.

Take any ML course to learn the basics, then apply what you learned to process your data. Don’t fret over course quality or “student delivery” - pick any resource and start learning.
