Description

The AI4ESS Summer School is a weeklong interactive course covering essential and cutting edge topics in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning that are relevant for Earth System Science problems. Each morning, students will participate in lectures from leading researchers at the intersection of AI and ESS on AI fundamentals, ESS AI applications, and emerging methods. Afternoons will feature interactive breakout sessions where students will work in teams to solve challenge problems with real Earth System data and the AI techniques they have studied during the week. There will also be opportunities to network with the instructors and other students and present a poster about your research.

Goals

The goals of the summer school are as follows:

1. Learn about the fundamentals of data processing, machine learning and deep learning algorithms, evaluation, and interpretation.

2. See how machine learning systems have been developed for a range of Earth System Science applications.

3. Develop hands-on experience with machine learning techniques covered in the course on real-world Earth System Science datasets.

4. Investigate new and emerging methods for ESS machine learning.

5. Network with fellow students and instructors.
