Adaptation Through Learning: Using Machine Learning to Improve Forest Wildfire Management

June 17, 2020
https://www.re-work.co/events/webinar-ai-for-crisis-prediction-2020/schedule
 

In this talk I will provide a window into this situation by looking at forest wildfire management as a case study of a rich domain where some work has been done but huge opportunities remain. Existing forest wildfire spread models are complex manual constructions that are struggling to adapt to changing climate as well as changing attitudes towards forests.

Deep Learning learning algorithms are being...

Paper accepted to ECML 2019

June 13, 2019
We recently had a paper accepted to the 2019 European Conference on Machine Learing (ECML) on the topic of modelling of combustion processes using Deep Neural Networks. This is an exciting topic that could lead to huge improvements in spead of design and testing for combustion engines. We'll post the camera ready once it's updated. Looking forward to presnting this in Wurzburg, Germany in September! Read more about Paper accepted to ECML 2019
