Title: Machine Learning and Impacts for Earth Science
Presenting Author: Victor Pankratius
Organization: MIT

Abstract:
Many applications have recently gained impressive capabilities through machine learning. These advances have been facilitated by affordable cloud computing, the increasing availability of labeled training sets, and learning algorithms that scale on Big Data. This talk will outline key techniques and discuss their impact on Earth Science applications and data discovery. It will also outline how machine learning can enable new kinds of intelligent instruments and data collection with smart autonomy.
