Creating LLM Captions and Embeddings for Natural-Language Geospatial Search
Brian Andres
Can LLM-generated captions become useful embeddings for natural-language geospatial search? This talk shares lessons from generating 1.5 million Haiku and Opus captions, using them for retrieval, evaluating caption and retrieval quality, and comparing against traditional models.
