WildFIRE-FM
+FireWx-FM is a wildfire-focused gridded model for 12-hour active-fire occupancy
+prediction over the Lower 48 United States. The released code maps a fixed
+16-channel tensor on a 5 km EPSG:5070 grid to an active-fire occupancy
+probability map.
-
A wildfire-specialized reference backbone for fixed-contract Earth-FM transfer evaluation
+This Hugging Face release is the clean ICLR/technical-report companion package:
+it includes model code, checkpoints, inference utilities, training/cache
+templates, public data-source notes, example outputs, the ICLR manuscript
+source, and the technical report source.
-
Five seeded California regional PyTorch checkpoints, paper-aligned evaluation artifacts, final figure previews, source-data access notes, and a CONUS retraining recipe for 12-hour wildfire occupancy prediction.

-## Why WildFIRE-FM
-
-Wildfire Earth-FM transfer scores depend strongly on the contract used for comparison: task form, metric, matching rule, spatial scope, and head-selection criterion. The paper studies these choices by holding outputs or features fixed and then changing only the evaluation contract.
-
-WildFIRE-FM is the in-region reference model used in those comparisons. It is trained for 12-hour gridded wildfire occupancy on a California 5 km grid, then evaluated under the same task-specific contracts as the transferred Earth-FM backbones.
-
-The released weights are California regional checkpoints, not nationwide-trained weights. For nationwide use, the release includes a CONUS cache and training recipe under `training/NATIONWIDE_RETRAINING.md`.
-
-This Hub repository is model-first. It provides the released weights, model-loading code, compact result summaries, paper previews, and source-data access notes needed to inspect the release boundary before running larger local reproductions.

-## Key Features
-
-- **Wildfire-specialized reference model:** Compact U-Net for 12-hour occupancy prediction on a projected California grid.
-- **Five seeded checkpoints:** Seeds `1`, `7`, `42`, `99`, and `123` are released with manifest hashes.
-- **Fixed-contract artifacts:** Compact summaries cover matching-rule, head-selection, and task-form comparisons from the final paper.
-- **Source-data aware release:** Provider links and data roles are documented for each public resource used by the study.
-- **Compiled paper PDF:** The readable manuscript is available directly from the Hub release.
-- **Paper-aligned previews:** Figure assets summarize selection regret, supporting-task rank changes, and primary-task rank changes.

-
- Reference model for wildfire transfer
- WildFIRE-FM combines regional weather, active-fire supervision, and static fuel, canopy, housing, and population context on the same grid used by the occupancy contract.
- |
-
- Contract-first evaluation artifacts
- The released summaries keep metric roles separate across decision, overlap, ranking, regression, and supporting-task checks.
- |
-
-
-
- Local-data reproducibility path
- Full raw-data reruns use provider-hosted sources and local feature caches. The Hub release documents those inputs and provides lightweight artifact checks.
- |
-
- Final-paper result previews
- The model card highlights the paper's fixed-output, fixed-feature, and task-form findings without requiring manuscript source files.
