The lab is now two people short for three months as Vicky and Margot have gone to Jena, Germany on an Erasmus+ exchange. They will be situated in Alex Brennings group at Friedrich-Schiller University (http://www.geographie.uni-jena.de/en/Brenning.html). You can find out about their experiences at Vicky's blog at https://vrvadventures.com/. Read more about Vicky and Margot head to Jena on an Erasmus+ exchange
The UWECEML Lab will have three presentations at this year's Canadian AI Conference at York University in Toronto in May 2017. If you'll be at any of the AI, GI or CRV conferences and want to chat about AI/ML/RL look us up.

New article recently published to Echohydrology by recent Hyromet M.Sc (2017) graduate Tristan Gingras-Hill et al. This work largely focussed on the work Tristan completed for his M.Sc degree with contributions from other Hydromet researchers Rich Petrone and Felix Nwaishi and Department of Geography professors Johnathan Price and Merrin Macrae.
Check out the article in Ecohydrology here, below is the abstract.
Students of the Hydrometeorology Research Group (7!!) recently attended the CGU Eastern Student Section annual gathering this year at the Western University on March 17, 2018. Students displayed their upcoming resarch and results in both presentation and poster formats. Check below for pictures of everyone that attended & their research!
Thanks to Western for hosting the day of networking and providing a platform to share our knowledge and findings.
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...
The graduate students in the UWECEML lab are getting recognized for their hard work. Some recent well deserved awards:
