Can Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) extract features of urban neighborhoods from street-view images?

I'm very proud of this paper and hope others can build on it to better measure changes in the media ecosystem. Very relevant to our current times IMHO!

This is an excellent article on a topic social scientists should be examining more.
