“AI+Water” Workshop 

Title:Incorporating Data Science and Climate in Coastal Engineering

Instructor: Fernando J. Mendez (Universidad de Cantabria, Spain)

Time: 13:00-17:30, 29 November 2024 (Friday)

Venue: Y303, Block Y, PolyU

The workshop is a half-day free course on data science and machine learning. In this short course, recent advances in machine learning techniques, climate-based statistical models and hybrid solutions of hydrodynamic models will be shown, to model coastal dynamics at different spatial and temporal scales. All participants are welcome to register for this free course (online registration deadline: 25 November 2024). 

1. Introduction to the Short-course (13:00–13:15) 

2. Data Mining Techniques (13:15–14:00) 

3. Downscaling to Nearshore Areas (14:00–15:00) 

Break (15:00–15:30) 

4. Wave Climate Variability (15:30–16:00) 

5. Statistical Downscaling (16:00–17:00) 

6. Towards BlueMath (17:00–17:30) 

Remark: The instructor will probably show some examples via GitHub repository and the attendees will be able of running examples of codes. For that, the attendees need to sign in https://github.com/ for having an “account” (with user and password) and bring a laptop.
