According to a latest study in the scientific field,
computer sciences are all set to collaborate with geography. With the help of
Artificial Intelligence complex processes of the planet Earth could now be
understood better.
The Friedrich Schiller University’s researchers got behind
the books to carry out the aforementioned study, wherein it’s clear that the AI
has a lot to contribute to life science.
Climatic conditions and the study of the Earth systems would
now become substantially easy to comprehend.
This ability to understand things better would contribute in
improving the already existing systems and models on the Earth’s surface.
Before AI got involved, the investigations done regarding
the Earth were merely about static elements including the soil properties from
a global scale.
More high-tech techniques will now be employed to handle the
processes better, all thanks to Artificial Intelligence.
Variations in largely global land processes like
photosynthesis could also be now monitored and all the considerations could be
deliberated beforehand.
The Earth system data along with a myriad of sensors is now
available so that tracking and comprehending the 'Earthian' processes by the aid
of AI would now be an easy job.
This new collaboration is very promising element as processes
that are beyond human understanding could now be estimated.
Imagine recognition, natural language processing and
classical machine learning applications are all that are encompassed within the
new techniques available.
Hurricanes, fire spreads and other complex processes
leveraged by local conditions are some of the examples for the application.
Soil movement, vegetation dynamics, ocean transport and
other basic themes regarding the Earth’s science and systems also lie within
the category of the application.
Data dependent statistical techniques no matter how well the
data quality, are not always certifiable and hence susceptible to exploitation.
Hence, machine learning needs to an essential part which
would also solve the issue regarding storage capacity and data processing.
Physical and mechanical techniques if brought together would
absolutely make a huge difference. It would then be possible to model the
motion of ocean’s water and to predict the temperature of the sea surface.
According to what one of the researchers behind the study
cited, the major motive is bringing together the “best of both worlds”.
