Julia Leonardi developed advanced regression capabilities for the IBM/terratorch repository, focusing on expanding model versatility and evaluation for data science and analytics workflows. She introduced scalar and patchwise regression tasks, enhanced loss computation to support both scalar and pixel-wise outputs, and enabled multivariate regression with variable weighting. Using Python and PyTorch, Julia implemented robust unit testing, maintained backward compatibility, and improved configuration clarity by refining task and metric handling. Her work delivered cross-factory regression support with minimal API changes, facilitating faster experimentation and broader use cases. Throughout, she emphasized maintainability, clear documentation, and ongoing support for future development.

December 2025 performance summary for IBM/terratorch. Delivered regression capabilities across Terratorch model factories by introducing a scalar_regression task and extending the loss computation to support pixel-wise regression via the WeightedMultivariateLossWrapper. This enables broader regression experiments—from scalar outputs to pixel-level predictions—within existing factory abstractions, without increasing API surface. The work directly supports data science and product analytics use cases by enabling more flexible modeling and faster experimentation. Key commits anchor the work: 9957f55ac51f4deae76c46bd07038f2e703ef7ad (added scalar_regression to other model factories) and 12a7c4262708b06b349f1b03b58e300bc2cfdb6a (updated the WeightedMultivariateLossWrapper to work with pixelwiseregression).

November 2025 (IBM/terratorch): Focused on delivering foundational enhancements to regression workflows and fortifying encoder-decoder tooling. Key outcomes include multivariate regression support with variable weights and metric naming, CLI-defined custom loss integration, and refined default metric behavior when weights are absent. In addition, the encoder-decoder factory gained deprecation warnings and better handling of decoder attributes to improve stability and guide users. These changes deliver greater modeling flexibility, improved benchmarking consistency, and clearer guidance on deprecated APIs. Testing and quality improvements were maintained throughout to ensure robustness.

October 2025 (IBM/terratorch): Delivered scalar and patchwise regression capabilities across Terratorch, expanding model versatility and evaluation for multi-output regression. Introduced ScalarRegressionTask and regression-head enhancements, enabling patchwise and scalar outputs with aligned loss/metrics for multi-output regression. Strengthened the evaluation pipeline and maintained backward compatibility through careful reshaping of outputs and metrics. Key outcomes include the groundwork for per-class losses and weighted losses, improved ignore-index handling, and robust unit tests alongside scaffolding to support ongoing development. Documentation and maintenance work provide sign-offs and future-work notes to guide reliability and iterations.
