Machine Learning in Space Weather

Session ID#: 119066

Session Description:
Advances in ML have been fueled by the growth of available data and ubiquity of capable computing technologies. Space physics and geophysics are characterized by impressive amounts of freely-available data and can certainly benefit from data-driven ML applications.

This session will focus on applications of Machine Learning to Space Weather problems across all sub-disciplines of the Heliophysics and the physics of the Earth's environment, including the coupling of the interplanetary plasma with the upper atmosphere. Contributions ranging from black-box models to data-driven physics-based simulations are welcome, including (but not limited to) regression and classification problems, inverse problems, dimensionality reduction, automatic event identification, data augmentation and inpainting, Bayesian inference, feature extraction, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and physics-informed machine learning.
