Seminar on AI/ML Research at BCCR
As a part of the BCCR Training Programme in Machine Learning, there will be a seminar on AI/ML research at the BCCR on Monday, June 1st from 11:00 to 14:00. We will have two sessions of two talks each, with a free lunch provided in between. The speakers will present their work using neural networks, with a focus on what type of neural network they use and how they help them solve their problems. Please sign up for a free lunch here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=vCSKZI2pJUCcYEjBmhQgaemxD9CtoRROnJCKyVCOholURTRMWUtRNkdHN0xCMUpNVzhEU1ZNSUdOTS4u&route=shorturl Here is the current programme: 11:00 - 11:30 - Kamilla Wergeland from NORCE and Småkraft AS: Improving Day-Ahead Production Forecasts for Run-of-River Hydropower Using Long Short-Term Neural Networks. 11:30 - 12:00 - Antoine Bernigaud from NERSC: Super-resolution of sea surface height: U-net VS GAN. 12:00 - 13:00 - Lunch break 13:00 - 13:30 - Yangfan Zhou from GFI: Using deep learning for precipitation downscaling in Norway. 13:30 - 14:00 - Julien Brajard from NERSC: End-to-end AI forecasting of Arctic Sea Ice from observations.
