4th Kenji Ishihara Colloquium Series on Earthquake Engineering

Artificial Intelligence Applications in Earthquake Engineering

September 1st, 2022
In-Person: University of California, San Diego
Virtually: Zoom

Artificial intelligence is rapidly developing, enhancing the role of data science in many disciplines including earthquake engineering. Applications of artificial intelligence are currently present in many aspects of our daily lives (e.g. automated driving cars, finding directions between two locations, facial recognition, e-commerce and marketing, healthcare, gaming, hiring processes, etc.). When big data or data analytics is involved, like in many aspects of earthquake engineering, artificial intelligence emerges as the efficient response.

This symposium will present and discuss current applications of artificial intelligence in different aspects of earthquake engineering and related disciplines.
