The workshop reflected the overall aim of the newly established P1 Arctic AI program, namely to contribute to new knowledge byleveraging AI for understanding rapid environmental change, supporting resilient communities and sustainable development, and protecting vulnerable ecosystems in important geopolitical areas in Denmark, Norway, other Nordic countries, and the UK.
Centre Director Robert Jenssen was one of the organizers via his affiliation with the Pioneer Centre for AI, University of Copenhagen. With this workshop, Visual Intelligence is setting extensive focus on the role of AI for forecasting and climate projections in the Arctic. From the centre's viewpoint, we are strengthening our ties with the P1 centre and with The Alan Turing Institute, two of our key strategic partners.
Jenssen, PhD Candidate Siyan Chen and Associate Professor Kristoffer Wickstrøm were among the over 40 participants from Denmark, Norway, Finland, UK, USA, Germany and Belgium that gathered for a very fruitful day of keynote talks, discussions and posters. The keynote talks included:
In addition, Chen presented recent results from Visual Intelligence where state of the art AI-based forecasting models were evaluated for the task of wind estimation on several key locations in the Tromsø area.
The workshop was organized by Centre Director Robert Jenssen, Tommy Sonne Alstrøm (Technical University of Denmark), Tian Tian (Danish Meteorlogical Institute).
