The proposed hybrid embedding scheme combines implicit and explicit embeddings to improve Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) for presence-only data with a large number of species. The approach addresses the limitations of previous neural implicit representations by introducing multiresolution hashgrids, enabling better capture of local feature variations. Experiments demonstrate significant performance improvements on standard benchmarks compared to existing methods.

Scientists are trying to predict where different animal species live on Earth. They’re using a special type of computer model called Species Distribution Modeling (SDM). The challenge is that they only have data about where the animals were found, not what was around them. A new approach combines two types of models to make better predictions. This helps scientists understand where different species might be found in the future.
