The lab has piled up three publications this month:
Our work on modelling and predicting Spatially Spreading Processes, in this case Forest Wildfires, using raw image data. Both these papers highlight different components of our approach of using Reinforcement Learning to automatically learn agent-based models of fire spreading on a landscape from readily avaialble satellite and weather data. the first paper builds on out work from RLDM last year. We will be presenting this work at this year's...
