The Climate Change AI is hosting an upcoming workshop on “Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning”, at the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2022.
This workshop, to be held virtually 9th December, will showcase impactful work at the intersection of machine learning and climate change.
A key aim of the workshop is to build bridges between different communities and sectors, and highlight effective pathways from research and ideas to real-world deployment.
We invite submissions of short papers, proposals and tutorials which use machine learning to address climate change. All machine learning techniques are welcome (random forests, kernel methods, deep learning, physics-informed learning methods, etc.). Each submission should clearly illustrate why the application has (or could have) a pathway to impact regarding climate change. We highly encourage submissions that make their data and code publicly available.
Potential topics for submissions include but are not limited to the following areas of climate change mitigation, adaptation, and climate science:
– Agriculture and food
– Behavioural and social science
– Buildings
– Carbon capture and sequestration
– Cities and urban planning
– Climate finance and economics
– Climate justice
– Climate science and climate modeling
– Disaster management and relief
– Earth observations and monitoring
– Earth science
– Ecosystems and biodiversity
– Extreme weather
– Forestry and other land use
– Health
– Heavy industry and manufacturing
– Local and indigenous knowledge systems
– Materials science and discovery
– Oceans and marine systems
– Power and energy systems
– Public policy
– Societal adaptation and resilience
– Supply chains
– Transportation
