<br>
<b>Overview</b><br>
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#333333;background:white">The NHERI DesignSafe team in collaboration with the NHERI SimCenter will host a 1.5 day workshop on February 18-19, 2020, to bring together expertise in
Natural Hazards Engineering and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Deep Learning (collectively known as AI/ML/DL).</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">The
purpose of this workshop is to build a research agenda determining where AI/ML/DL can and is being productively employed in natural hazards engineering research, what techniques hold key promise, and how these techniques may be adapted to the hazards engineering
domain moving forward. The workshop will be an interactive event, including anchor talks by researchers across the hazards engineering and AI/ML/DL domains as well as interactive breakout, reporting and discussion sessions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
