The following presentation was given by Stephen Hallett at the recent ‘AI for Environmental Sciences‘ conference and workshop, held in July 2019 in Cambridge at the British Antarctic Survey. The talk outlines the ‘Constructing a Digital Environment’ SPF Programme.
Machine learning offers a new set of powerful tools in environmental science. There are a broad range of data-driven approaches that can be applied to the spectrum of challenges that exist. An initial step then is to prepare a computer to undertake these tasks, and in so doing, to enable the widest possible range of […]
We live, as humans ever have, in a complex world.
