Happy to share that I defended my PhD this weekend! 🎉🎓 A great thank you to my supervisors, Sarunas Girdzijauskas and @mogren.ml. I'd also like to give a special thanks to Mark Jelasity and my grading committee: Sonja Buchegger, Eirini Ntoutsi, and Anwitaman Datta.

Partnership between Climate AI Nordics and AfriClimate AI 🌍 AfriClimate AI is a grassroots community dedicated to harnessing the power of AI for a sustainable, prosperous and climate-resilient Africa. We hope this will inspire further collaborations between our two regional AI-for-climate networks!

Our thoughts are currently with firefighters and victims struggling with the current fires in LA. The ML community can contribute by developing data and models to improve the detection.

When extracting streams from high-resolution digital elevation models, road culverts can be a pain. I explored an approach where a residual attention UNet was used to identify and breach road culverts, utilising ALS data and orthophotos. It works but produces a fair amount of false positives.

Have you considered simply not living on a climate vulnerable planet?

"In particular, the proposed metric is sensitive to dimensional collapse and thus is superior to the existing one. Finally, using the proposed uniformity metric as an auxiliary loss within existing self-supervised learning methods consistently improves their performance in downstream tasks."
