Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence for Environmental Science Summer School 2021
The Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence for Environmental Science (TAI4ES) Summer School will be held virtually the week of July 26-29, 2021. It is being held by the National Center for Atmospheric Research in conjunction with NSF AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography (AI2ES).
Slides and Recordings
Description
The TAI4ES Summer School will focus on getting attendees up-to-speed on how to develop trustworthy AI for the Earth & environmental sciences. Each morning, students will participate in lectures from leading researchers in trustworthy AI for environmental sciences.
Goals
The goals of the summer school are as follows:
- Learn about the foundations of trustworthiness for AI
- Understand explanatory AI (XAI) and how both explanations and physics and robustness can help build trust in AI
- Learn how ethics and trust relate for AI
- See how machine learning systems have been developed for a range of environmental science application
Agenda
Registration
Registration is closed.
Recommended Resources
This summer school builds on the AI4ESS summer school offered by NCAR in 2020. We will assume that you have a basic background in AI methods. If you want to learn more about the basics, we highly recommend reviewing some of the 2020 lectures!
The 2021 CIRA short course on machine learning for weather and climate also provides excellent background lectures as well as hands-on notebooks with examples to get you started.
