ICMI 2023
My first ever conference, ICMI 2023, hosted in Paris, France.
ICMI which was held in Paris, France at Sorbonne University was my first conference. Along with my peers Jack Fitzgerald, and James Yost, I was able to go and present our paper titled: Paying Attention to Wildfire: Using U-Net with Attention Blocks on Multimodal Data for Next Day Prediction. See the full details of this research at: Preventing Wildfires
Poster Presentation
Our work focused on predicting the spread of fires over the course of a one day period. We explored tradtional CNN architectures along with transformers and U-Nets, before designing a custom light-weight U-Net that was capable of sub 1-hour training.
Banquet
After the conference, all attendees were invited to the historical portion of Sorbonne, which felt like it was straight out of Hogwarts. This event was a great way to wrap up a fantastic week in Paris, with all the other scholars I made friends with from around the world.
