AI for Fusion Energy Challenge
0The energy crisis poses a significant global challenge in our time. While the search for efficient and sustainable energy sources is complex, one promising avenue is fusion energy. Fusion energy is produced when two light elements, i.e., hydrogen isotopes, combine to form a single heavier one, with the consequent release of energy. The scientific community is actively engaged in making fusion a commercially viable alternative energy source – scientists and engineers worldwide are collaborating to make this a reality. \n\nWithin the IAEA Coordinated Research Project on AI for Fusion, this challenge aims to explore the potential of machine learning in contributing to multi-machine disruption prediction. Participants will use data from three distinct fusion devices called “tokamaks” (Alcator C-Mod, J-TEXT, and HL-2A) to develop a cross-machine disruption prediction model using ML, with strong generalization capabilities. Participants will acquire hands-on experience in AI/ML in areas relevant to fusion energy science and compete for prizes, recognition, and certificates. \n\nSpeakers:\nCristina Rea\nResearch Scientist\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\n\nModerators:\nDiakhère Gueye\nIntern\nInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)\n\nThomas Basikolo\nProgramme Officer\nInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU)\n\nJoin the Neural Network!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/AIforGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nWe have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.\nMore than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\nAI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
