We are happy to host a CartoTalk by our former colleague Prof. Haosheng Huang, Professor of Cartography and GIScience at Ghent University, Belgium. He will be presenting: GeoAI for Mobility Analytics and Prediction.
Thursday, 27.04. 2023, 16:00-17:30
Seminarroom 126, Erzherzog-Johann-Platz 1/120-6, 1040 WienÂ
Abstract:
Incorporating geographic knowledge or concepts into machine learning (ML) might help to reduce the required amount of training data and improve the performance and explainability of ML models. A research theme is currently emerging in GIScience and Cartography regarding the development of geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) techniques for geographic knowledge discovery. This presentation will give a summary of our recent research activities in this domain, with a focus on applications in mobility analytics and prediction.
Haosheng Huang is a Professor in Cartography and GIScience at Ghent University, Belgium. He was previously a senior lecturer and research group leader (2016-2020) at the GIScience Center at the University of Zurich, Switzerland; a researcher and lecturer (2007-2016) at the Research Group Cartography, TU Wien, Austria; and a visiting scholar (2010) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. Haosheng Huang received his Ph.D. (with Distinction/Honours) in Cartography and Geoinformation from TU Wien in 2013.
