Workshop
Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning
Maria João Sousa · Hari Prasanna Das · Sally Simone Fobi · Jan Drgona · Tegan Maharaj · Yoshua Bengio
Tue 14 Dec, 6:15 a.m. PST
The focus of this workshop is the use of machine learning to help address climate change, encompassing mitigation efforts (reducing greenhouse gas emissions), adaptation measures (preparing for unavoidable consequences), and climate science (our understanding of the climate and future climate predictions). The scope of the workshop includes climate-relevant applications of machine learning to the power sector, buildings and transportation infrastructure, agriculture and land use, extreme event prediction, disaster response, climate policy, and climate finance. The goals of the workshop are: (1) to showcase high-impact applications of ML to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and climate science, (2) to showcase novel and interesting problem settings and challenges for ML techniques, (3) to encourage fruitful collaboration between the ML community and a diverse set of researchers and practitioners from climate change-related fields, and (4) to promote dialogue with decision-makers in the private and public sectors to ensure that the work presented leads to responsible and meaningful deployment.
