Using Deep Learning to Predict Wildfires with Feng Yan - #329

Today we’re joined by Feng Yan, Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno. In our conversation, we discuss:

ALERTWildfire, a camera-based network infrastructure that captures satellite imagery of wildfires. The many purposes of ALERTWildfire, including the discovery of wildfires, the ability to scale resources accordingly, and a few others The development of the machine learning models and surrounding infrastructure used in ALERTWildfire.  Problem formulation and challenges with using camera and satellite data in this use case. How they have combined the use of Infra-as-a-Service and Function-as-a-Service tools for cost-effectiveness and scalability.
