Webinar I Building More Accurate Spatial Models with Google PDFM Embeddings and CARTO

Описание: Miguel Álvarez, Head of Data Science at CARTO, and Gautam Prasad from Google Research explain how PDFM embeddings are built, what signals they include (search trends, POIs, mobility, weather, air quality), and how to integrate them into workflows using CARTO Workflows on BigQuery.

You’ll also see a practical demo predicting liquor sales in Iowa and comparing traditional sociodemographic features vs. PDFM embeddings.

You’ll learn:

03:34 – Inside Google’s Population Dynamics Foundation Model (PDFM)

09:34 – Interpolation & forecasting examples with PDFM

13:04 – How CARTO integrates PDFM embeddings in Workflows

20:25 – Demo: predicting liquor sales with PDFM + CARTO on BigQuery

31:09 – Q&A: when and how to use PDFM embeddings
