On January 28, 2020, New Light Technologies' (NLT) Chief Scientist will travel to Lausanne, Switzerland, to present research at the Applied Machine Learning Days conference.
The talk will be featured in the "AI & Cities" track of the event. NLT's Chief Scientist will present co-authored research recently published in Remote Sensing journal, a leading peer-reviewed academic journal in the field — among other leading thinkers and innovators focused on using artificial intelligence (AI) to better understand how cities emerge and evolve.
Many areas of the world remain unmapped. This is especially true for developing countries, which are more vulnerable to many types of natural disasters, from earthquakes to hurricanes. Within those areas, urban and more populated places are better mapped than isolated ones. NLT's Chief Scientist will outline an automated methodology to address those data deficits, using publicly available remotely sensed data to automatically predict which areas lack aerial imagery coverage.
Predicting OSM Coverage by Means of Remote Sensing — January 28, Room 1BC.
The Applied Machine Learning Days is one of the largest machine learning and AI meetings in Europe. NLT is excited to be part of the global conversation on automating solutions to the biggest problems facing the world today.
