AI for Understanding Earthquakes | Focused Research Program Symposium | Hariri Institute

Описание: Watch this video to explore how BU researchers, in collaboration with other researchers and national laboratories, are leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance the detection, monitoring, and understanding of earthquakes.

This research was made possible through the Hariri Institute for Computing's Focused Research Programs (FRPs). FRPs support intensive, faculty-driven efforts in large, multi-disciplinary teams. The FRP mission is to evolve and advance Boston University’s research in computing, computational, and data-driven science and engineering around areas of strategic importance and emerging opportunity. The programs are designed to facilitate research convergence by providing ‘scaffolding’ for groups to coalesce in sustainable ways, with the goal of accelerating research for future funding and broader impact.
