AI Research for Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability

Seminar

THIS EVENT IS HELD IN ENGLISH.

CONTENT:

The seminar is organised by SKEMA Centre for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI).

Despite the scientific consensus on climate change, drastic uncertainties remain. Crucial questions about regional climate trends, changes in extreme events, such as heat waves and mega-storms, and understanding how climate varied in the distant past, must be answered in order to improve predictions, assess impacts and vulnerability, and inform mitigation and sustainable adaptation strategies. Machine learning can help answer such questions and shed light on climate change. I will give an overview of our climate informatics research, focusing on challenges in learning from spatiotemporal data, along with semi- and unsupervised deep learning approaches to studying rare and extreme events, and precipitation and temperature downscaling.

AUDIENCE:

Anyone interested in the subject. No prior knowledge is required. Each seminar is an opportunity to develop reflection and debate with top scholar speakers.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION:

This seminar takes place online via Teams.

It is organised on the SKEMA Campus Grand Paris (Suresnes). Should you wish to attend in person, please send an e-mail to margherita.pagani@skema.edu so that you can access the campus.

GUEST SPEAKER:
