Nord University Land Change Science Program
Fueled by massive GIS data repositories, deep learning and neural networks enable data scientists to apply machine learning techniques to a growing range of real-world problems. Education leaders at the University of California San Diego are training a new generation of geo-literate scientists. This chapter explores the short history of deep neural networks, describes the teaching approach at UCSD, and examines several practical applications at the intersection of GIS and AI.
