Mapping near-real-time soil moisture dynamics over Tasmania with transfer learning by M. T. Widyastuti, J. Padarian, B. Minasny, M. Webb, M. Taufik, D. Kidd

“…Results showed that (1) models calibrated from the Australian dataset performed worse than Tasmanian models regardless of the type of DL approaches; (2) Tasmanian models, calibrated solely using local data, resulted in shortcomings in predicting soil moisture; and (3) transfer learning exhibited remarkable performance improvements (error reductions of up to 45 % and a 50 % increase in correlation) and resolved the drawbacks of the two previous models. …”
