The field of geospatial analysis and energy management is witnessing a significant shift with the integration of large language models (LLMs). Research is focusing on leveraging LLMs to improve the accuracy and efficiency of tasks such as non-intrusive load monitoring, location intelligence, and cartographic design. The use of LLMs is enabling the development of more robust and generalizable models that can operate with limited labeled data, enhancing interpretability and reducing the need for fine-tuning. Noteworthy papers in this area include:
- A study that introduced a prompt-based NILM framework using LLMs, achieving competitive state detection accuracy and robust generalization without fine-tuning.
- A paper that proposed CartoAgent, a multimodal large language model-powered multi-agent cartographic framework for map style transfer and evaluation, demonstrating the effectiveness of LLMs in generating visually appealing and informative maps.
