Advances in machine learning research are pushing the limits of geographical information sciences (GIScience) by offering accurate procedures to analyze small-to-big GeoData. This Special Issue groups together six original contributions in the field of GeoData-driven GIScience that focus mainly on three different areas: extraction of semantic information from satellite imagery, image recommendation, and map generalization. Different technical approaches are chosen for each sub-topic, from deep learning to latent topic models.

Abstract
Advances in machine learning research are pushing the limits of geographical information sciences (GIScience) by offering accurate procedures to analyze small-to-big GeoData. This Special Issue groups together six original contributions in the field of GeoData-driven GIScience that focus mainly on three different areas: extraction of semantic information from satellite imagery, image recommendation, and map generalization. Different technical approaches are chosen for each sub-topic, from deep learning to latent topic models.
