Participation of LIRMM / Inria to the GeoLifeCLEF 2020 Challenge

This paper describes the methods that we have implemented in the context of the GeoLifeCLEF 2020 machine learning challenge. The goal of this challenge is to advance the state-of-the-art in locationbased species recommendation on a very large dataset of 1.9 million species observations, paired with high-resolution remote sensing imagery, land cover data, and altitude. We provide a detailed description of the algorithms and methodology, developed by the LIRMM / Inria team, in order to facilitate the understanding and reproducibility of the obtained results.
