Climate, AI and What to Get Done in a Hackathon

Speaker: Paula Harder (Fraunhofer ITWM, Department High Performance Computing)

Abstract:

How can we use AI to tackle Climate Change? Why is it great to participate in Hackathons?What can be done in the course of two days? By reviewing three recent Data Challenges on Climate and AI we will try to answer those questions. We will look at how to predict the number of forest fires in 2100, how to transform a nighttime infra-red observation into a visible satellite imagery and how to create AI art to raise the awareness for Climate Change.

About the Seminar Series

The Deep Learning Seminar is organized by employees of the field »Data Analysis and Machine Learning« in the department »High Performance Computing«. It is intended to give interested persons an insight into this large field of research and a deeper understanding. Everyone who wants to learn more about Deep Learning, Machine Learning or AI in general is invited - no matter if students, PhD students, professors or software developers. In addition to the employees of our department, interested external speakers can also give a lecture in our seminar series. We also have the opportunity to invite external speakers. We are always open to suggestions, suggestions or requests.

The event usually takes place every Thursday (except for holiday shifts and summer break). The topic of a talk should either come directly from or is relevant to Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Data Analysis or AI, no matter whether it is about a paper, an own project on or an interesting topic. The complexity can range from an overview talk to a special topic.
