AI for Fusion Energy Challenge Finale: Multi-Machine Disruption Prediction
0ITU together with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its partners – Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Centre (PSFC), and Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) – within the IAEA Coordinated Research Project on AI for Fusion launched a challenge which aimed to explore the potential of machine learning in contributing to multi-machine disruption prediction. Participants accessed 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. \n\nBy participating in this challenge, participants acquired hands-on experience in AI/ML in areas relevant to fusion energy science as well as competing for prizes, recognition, and certificates. This webinar will cover presentation from best teams of this competition and winners will be announced at the end of the session to recognize their outstanding performance. \n\nCash Prizes: The Challenge prizes totalling to 5,000 USD was sponsored MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Centre (PSFC). \n\nAcknowledgement: This challenge has been carried out with the support and coordination of the ITU, IAEA, HUST, MIT PSFC and SWIP.The realization of this data challenge was made possible thanks to the work of Dr Chengshuo Shen (HUST), Dr Jinxiang Zhu (PSFC), Dr Zheng Wei (HUST), Dr Zhongyu Yang (SWIP), Dr Cristina Rea (PSFC), Diakhere Gueye, Dr Matteo Barbarino (IAEA), and Thomas Basikolo (ITU). \n\n\nThe AI for Good Global Summit is the leading action-oriented United Nations platform promoting AI to advance health, climate, gender, inclusive prosperity, sustainable infrastructure, and other global development priorities. AI for Good is organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) – the UN specialized agency for information and communication technology – in partnership with 40 UN sister agencies and co-convened with the government of Switzerland.\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\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
