CIS Seminar: “Tackling climate change with machine learning”
November 30, 2021 at 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Machine learning can be a powerful tool in helping society reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate. In this talk, we will explore opportunities and challenges in AI-for-climate, from optimizing electrical grids to monitoring crop yield, and how these impactful problems can also drive methodological innovations in machine learning.
