Title: Machine Learning Technologies for Disaster Resilience
Abstract:
In recent years, natural disasters such as a major earthquake and the accompanying big tsunami that cause enormous damage occur. It takes a huge amount of time and cost to restore a social system that suffered greatly every time. Disaster prevention and mitigation have become important social issues in Japan. In our research team, in the event of a natural disaster that brings about such a serious disaster, we aim to research and develop machine learning technologies. In this WS, In this seminar, we will present an overview of the research results of our team, including dynamic and static analysis of earthquakes and forecasting of typhoon intensification.
