GeoGPT: Understanding and Processing Geospatial Tasks through An Autonomous GPT

Understand

Decision-makers in GIS need to combine a series of spatial algorithms and operations to solve geospatial tasks.

• For example, in the task of facility siting, the Buffer tool is usually first used to locate areas close or away from some specific entities; then, the Intersect or Erase tool is used to select candidate areas satisfied multiple requirements.
• Though professionals can easily understand and solve these geospatial tasks by sequentially utilizing relevant tools, it is difficult for non-professionals to handle these problems.
• Recently, Generative Pre-trained Transformer (e.g., ChatGPT) presents strong performance in semantic understanding and reasoning.
