[15th EPFL CIS - RIKEN AIP Joint Seminar] Talks by Naonori Ueda, RIKEN AIP

EPFL CIS and RIKEN AIP started a seminar, titled “EPFL CIS - RIKEN AIP Joint Seminar series" from October, 2021.

EPFL is located in Switzerland and is one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan science and technology institutions. EPFL has both a Swiss and international vocation and focuses on three missions: teaching, research and innovation.

The Center for Intelligent Systems (CIS) at EPFL, a joint initiative of the schools ENAC, IC, SB, STI and SV seeks to advance research and practice in the strategic field of intelligent systems.

RIKEN is Japan's largest comprehensive research institution renowned for high-quality research in a diverse range of scientific disciplines.

RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) houses more than 30 research teams ranging from fundamentals of machine learning and optimization, applications in medicine, materials, and disaster, to analysis of ethics and social impact of artificial intelligence.

Title: Machine Learning Technologies for Disaster Resilience

Abstract:
In recent years, natural disasters such as a major earthquake and the accompanying big tsunami that cause enormous damage occur. It takes a huge amount of time and cost to restore a social system that suffered greatly every time. Disaster prevention and mitigation have become important social issues in Japan. In our research team, in the event of a natural disaster that brings about such a serious disaster, we aim to research and develop machine learning technologies. In this WS, In this seminar, we will present an overview of the research results of our team, including dynamic and static analysis of earthquakes and forecasting of typhoon intensification.
