A Data-Driven Intelligent Decision-Making Model for Irrigation Scheduling

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/389291

Agriculture relies heavily on irrigation, but this essential practice consumes a significant portion of our increasingly scarce freshwater resources. Climate change and urban expansion exacerbate this challenge, making efficient irrigation management a critical factor in global sustainability. Additionally, excessive irrigation harms the environment by polluting waterways, depleting water sources, and salinizing soil. This webinar presents a groundbreaking data-driven intelligent irrigation scheduling model that optimizes water use efficiency and promotes agricultural sustainability. By leveraging readily available soil moisture and evapotranspiration data from the High-Resolution Land Data Assimilation System (HRLDAS), the model provides precise irrigation recommendations tailored to specific field conditions. Key benefits of the decision model include: - 20-40% water savings: Achieve significant water conservation while ensuring optimal crop growth. - Increased crop yield: Maximize production by providing the right amount of water at the right time. - Reduced environmental impact: Minimize water pollution and soil salinization for a healthier environment. - Cost-effective and easy to implement: No expensive sensors or data subscriptions required, making it accessible to all farmers. During this webinar, you will learn the decision support system in depth: - How the data-driven model works and its key features - The benefits of ET-Water Balance and soil-moisture based irrigation scheduling methods. - How deep reinforcement learning further optimizes irrigation decisions. - Real-world examples and case studies showcasing the model's effectiveness. - How to access and utilize the model through the free WaterSmart Data Information Portal.

Computational Drug Repurposing in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/389460

In an era where medical innovation is more critical than ever, artificial intelligence (AI) offers unprecedented opportunities in the realm of healthcare, particularly in drug discovery and development. Harnessing AI for drug repurposing represents a frontier in accelerating the identification of new therapeutic uses for existing drugs, reducing time and costs associated with traditional drug development. In this talk, we will explore the transformative potential of computational drug repurposing in the era of AI. We will delve into the applications of deep learning for drug-target prediction and drug sensitivity prediction, as well as the utilization of knowledge graphs to uncover hidden relationships between drugs and biological entities. Additionally, we will introduce the large language model (LLM) and discuss its potential in processing vast amounts of biomedical literature and clinical trial data to inform drug repurposing efforts. By highlighting real-world examples and case studies, this talk aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in the field of AI-driven drug repurposing. Join us to delve into how computational drug repurposing, powered by AI, can become a pivotal tool in swiftly and effectively responding to future healthcare challenges.

Building a Conversational Artificial Intelligence with Raspberry Pi Computer

Bldg: Martha Washington Library, 6614 Fort Hunt Rd, Alexandria, Virginia, United States

This demonstration uses a different approach to building a conversational intelligence. Whereas most AI systems use a large database and a conversational search engine, this method teaches the system to parse knowledge sentences and infer additional statements. The teacher resolves ambiguous statements found by the system. The methods do not depend upon any particular human language.

Overview of Career Growth Series 2023 This is the last of four monthly meetings starring pre-recorded webinars whose focus are technical career enhancement. These webinars were recorded in 2022 and are available at https://ieeeusa.org/calendar/career-webinars/. However these meetings provide an opportunity to discuss the webinar with other attendees (and enjoy a light refreshment during the meeting.) The discussion part will be available for remote attendance. Presentation Leaders are the ones that have the right combination of drive, focus, and market savvy to create something unique that has value today and in the future. Great leaders also have a strong vision for the future and are undeterred when plans take them sideways. The methods of this type of success often take decades to implement and realize. In this webinar, you will find the key ingredients of a great company, and how a founder builds the team that together makes a difference.
