AGENDA
Overview
Machine learning and other artificial intelligence technologies have been proved to be powerful tools in extracting and processing information from large sets of data and have been used extensively for different applications in energy, such as Load forecasting and demand management, yield optimization, predictive maintenance in the utility industry; energy trading nad customer insights in the retail field; and supplier selection, consumption insights, and building energy management in the consumers sector. We will bring both academic and industry experts in energy and machine learning fields to share ideas, opportunities, and best practices, as well as challenges and caveats in applying machine learning in energy.
We will bring both academic and industry experts in energy and machine learning fields to share ideas, opportunities, and best practices, as well as challenges and caveats in applying machine learning in energy. Every speaker has ~20 mins to present their work.
Hosted by Stanford IEEE and SCEA, assistant hosted by CSEE North American Chapter.
