Machine Learning for Environmental research, Extreme Events and beyond

Hydrological Events

Accurate forecasts of precipitation is the foundation of countless use cases revolving around water management, from civil and disaster management to  commercial applications such as agriculture. The AML group has expertise in modeling hydrological data, across various forecast horizons. Our state-of-the-art ML models leverage the potential of multimodal data from a wide range of sources to gain novel insight.

GeoAI/Remote Sensing

GeoAI is an interdisciplinary subject of AI and geoscience, which is using AI models to solve problems in geoscience. The general AI models are required to be re-designed to meet the geo-tasks (e.g., applicable for various types of training data). Remote sensing images are common geo-data that record the multiple bands of observed information in the study area. The AML group has developed AI models to classify scenes based on remote sensing images.
