A Data-Driven Approach for Urban Heat Island Predictions: Rethinking the Evaluation Metrics and Data Preprocessing by Berk Kıvılcım, Patrick Erik Bradley

“…After the model training, the prediction results are not simply evaluated with most widely used shallow metrics like the Mean Square Error (MSE), but thanks to the raster format of input and output results, some image similarity metrics such as Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity (LPIPS) that are able to detect and consider spatial relations are used during the evaluation and interpretation process, because of their higher usefulness in mimicking human visual judgements. The trained models with Random Forest and XGBoost methods which are capable of predicting the spatial distribution of air temperature by using building volume information are compared. …”
