Datalab-Seminar
Introduction
We invite Data Science experts to present and discuss topics relevant to the scope of Datalab. The seminar usually takes place every two weeks, on Wednesdays from 12:00-13:00 at the Winterthur Campus of ZHAW.
Future Events
| Date | Time&Place | Speaker | Title | Abstract |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wed, 01.02. | 11:00-12:00, TN E0.58 and MS Teams | Prof. Dr. Jan Dirk Wegner (UZH) | Large-scale analysis of geospatial data with machine learning | Worldwide analyses and estimates of vegetation parameters such as biomass or vegetation height are essential for modelling climate change and biodiversity. Traditional allometric approaches usually have to be adapted for specific ecosystems and regions. It is therefore very difficult to carry out homogeneous, global modelling with high spatial and temporal resolution and, at the same time, good accuracy. Data-driven approaches, especially modern deep learning methods, promise great potential here. In this talk, new research results on the large-scale determination of vegetation parameters will be presented. |
