Is the code related to Earthformer AR available?

Nice work !

I notice that you pretrain a VQ-VAE to compress the image sequence to a discrete latent space, and explore an auto-regressive decoder named Earthformer-AR.

I'm interesting in the training details of such a VQ-VAE and such an auto-regressive model !

So if the code related to Earthformer AR is available?

Thanks for your interest!

We have conducted preliminary empirical studies on Earthformer AR and found that the performance is far from satisfactory though it was able to generate predictions in better perceptual quality. It is not mature enough to include Earthformer AR in this repo now. Nevertheless, it would be an interesting future direction.

As alternatives, we recommend you to refer to VideoGPT and Latent Video Transformer (LVT) from which Earthformer AR has been inspired. Both of them are open sourced (VideoGPT code, LVT code) and convenient to run.

Got it. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your interest and thanks for the response from @gaozhihan . The team here is still improving the Earthformer model and will release Earthformer AR next year.
