Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are critical instruments that can improve decision making and fasten the pace of research. They can help automate processes, identify novel patterns, and generate predictions. Although AI and ML are constantly evolving and improving, they have the potential to completely transform the technology landscape. At CTSEP, the AI/ML group is focused on leveraging the power of data to drive impactful solutions in the areas of clean energy transition, air quality, and climate action. We develop automated data pipelines to curate datasets and apply advanced data analytics and AI/ML algorithms to extract patterns and support key decisions in these domains.
Artificial Intelligence for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Extreme and unpredictable changes in the climate are a cause of serious concern globally. In India, the impacts of climate change are already profound. The second part of the Sixth Assessment Report (Working Group II contribution) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), released in early 2022, has referred to India as one of the countries to be most “economically harmed” by climate change. The situation mandates urgent nationwide measures to build climate resilience by mitigating climate-related adversities and enabling adaptation.
