A picture's coordinates can be partly decoded from TerraMind's frozen internal representation by training probe models on top of its features. Across all 12 combinations of four model variants and three probe types, latitude was decoded more accurately than longitude.
Evidence
correlational
Key metric
latitude R2 exceeds longitude R2 in all 12 probe configurations, 4 model variants by 3 probe types; the source counts latitude and longitude predictions separately as 24 experiments
Caveat
The conclusion is based on three probe families; the authors state that a broader and more principled selection of probing models is needed to improve interpretation of the latent-space structure.
