A Flood of Songs and Showers: Can AI identify floods, in our hearts and our streets

What do floods have to do with self-driving cars, and how might Artificial Intelligence (AI) be able to predict them? We are developing methods of predicting floods in real-time with AI. Through the lens of research done at the University of Hull, this talk will take the audience on a journey to demystify AI and reveal how everything is just a matter of perspective.

In a world where music transcends geographical boundaries, "Analyzing Cross-Cultural Music Genres Through Lyrics and Emotions" explores the fascinating intersection of music, emotion, and culture through the lens of advanced deep learning techniques. This talk, led by a passionate Data Scientist, PhD researcher, musician, singer, and writer, explores the rich tapestry of cross-cultural musical elements and their emotional expressions, shedding light on how genres from different corners of the globe can evoke remarkably similar feelings in people everywhere and the role culture plays in evoking emotions from music.
