sions at international conferences, special issues in international
journals, contests using remote sensing data, and the
support to the GRSS IADF newsletters. A prime example of
WG-ISP activities is a new contest exploiting data acquired
by the new PRISMA satellite mission operated by the Italian
space agency and addressing the hyperspectral pansharpening
problem, awarding the winners at the 2022 IEEE Workshop
on Hyperspectral Imaging and Signal Processing. Future
activities will push toward the promotion of training for
students (in particular, Ph.D. students) proposing new initiatives
(e.g., short courses, tutorials, and summer schools).

WG-MIA
The WG-MIA fosters theoretical and practical advancements
in ML and DL for the analysis of geospatial and
remote sensing images. Under the umbrella of the GRSS
IADF TC, WG-MIA serves as a global network that promotes
the development of ML and DL techniques and
their application in the context of various geospatial domains.
It aims at connecting engineers, scientists, teachers,
and practitioners, promoting scientific/technical advancements
and geospatial applications. To promote the
societal impact of ML-based solutions for the analysis of
geospatial data, we seek robustness, domain generalization,
accountability, transparency, explainability, and
adversarial mitigation in ML algorithms.
The WG-MIA is leading the conversation on the develFIGURE

opment of ethical, understandable, and trustworthy ML
techniques. Our key activities include ML algorithm development
challenges, organizing special issues in IEEE journals,
and workshops at main conferences.
