Gaming for military precision decisions

Rapid progress in Game AI is demonstrating that given enough data or experience, machines can rival or surpass even the most skilled human decision-makers in complex domains.  There are now rapidly emerging opportunities to apply modern AI to military decision-making problems to improve operational planning and avoid unforeseen consequences. Simon Lucas describes how statistical forward planning algorithms can make intelligent actions in a range of environments.

Data for disaster management

Situation awareness can be the difference between life and death when responding to disasters. But now an abundance of data is available; from satellites to tweets, from UAVs to in-situ sensors, from expert knowledge to mathematical hazard models. Making sense of all this in a timely, accurate manner is critical to effective disaster management. This talk explores how novel machine learning approaches to data fusion can combine data together, remove unreliable data and identify informative sources.
