OD44A:
Accelerating Ocean Science: Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Gain New Insights II Posters

Session ID#: 85899

Session Description:
For many research areas collecting and producing data no longer limits our scientific pursuits. Data volumes have increased dramatically and the main bottleneck to generate meaningful results is now the time to analyze vast datasets. Manual analysis or limited automation methods are quickly becoming unfeasible for big data and complex multi-disciplinary approaches. The recent advancement of accessible deep learning tools has opened up new possibilities for the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning models, facilitated by cloud infrastructure and scalable compute engines, to complex scientific challenges. The use of (un)supervised machine learning methods like artificial neural networks, clustering, random forests, and decision trees, in ocean sciences is an emerging and rapidly evolving field of research. The versatility of machine learning allows for novel applications and revisiting old ones such as pattern recognition, data mining and compression, spatial interpolation, parameter and error estimation, time series analysis and filtering, ocean model and forcing surrogates, observation inversion, forecasting, parameterization and many more. This session aims to examine the current practices, tools, and future direction of artificial intelligence and machine learning in processing all types of oceanographic data and invites contributions tackling key problems of ocean sciences using novel approaches from machine learning. The session is also open to common drawbacks and limitations of machine learning and how to solve them. Contributions that connect or compare machine learning to neighboring statistical or mathematical algorithms as data assimilation, MSSA, AR processes, recurrence networks or Markov chains are highly welcome too.
