CoordBench

A unified benchmark suite for evaluating location encoders (SatCLIP, GeoCLIP, Climplicit, MIND, and similar coordinate -> embedding models), consolidating 40 evaluation tables from 13 source families that previously lived scattered across GitHub raw, figshare, GCS, Socrata, Zenodo, and Google Drive.

Schema

Every config's data.parquet carries these columns up front:

column	type	notes
lon, lat	float64	WGS84, always non-null
timestamp	int64 (nullable)	unix ms, UTC; null when the source has no per-point time
timestamp_end	int64 (nullable)	end of the valid-time window, when the source defines one (only dm_*)
split	string (nullable)	an official train/val/test partition from the SOURCE; null when there isn't one
id	string (nullable)	source-native row identifier, when one exists

...followed by every original source column, verbatim (original name, original value, no transform, no dropped rows). Nodata sentinels (-999, -1, ocean index 0) and untransformed values (no log1p) are preserved as-is -- probe-time preprocessing is left to the consumer.

One config per original source file/table, not per label task -- e.g. sustainbench's 6 DHS indices and cdc_places's 12 health measures are each one config, since they're one shared source table.

A raw/ folder alongside data/ holds byte-verbatim, unmodified copies of the original source files (no schema mapping at all), for full provenance.

License

No single license applies to the whole repo. Most configs are CC-BY-4.0/CC-BY-SA-4.0/public domain, but a few carry real redistribution caveats -- see the status column below:

• clear -- no redistribution caveat found.
• needs_verification -- no explicit restriction found, but not fully confirmed with the source.
• unresolved_risk -- an explicit redistribution restriction was found (WorldClim's terms forbid redistribution without permission; DHS Program-derived SustainBench indices have unconfirmed redistribution terms; deepmind_eval's us_trees is CC-BY-NC-4.0 and canada_crops_* is Open Government Licence - Canada, not the suite's default CC-BY-4.0). Included here for research convenience; check the original source's terms before commercial use.
