  • Announcement: International Summer Institute on Network Physiology (ISINP) : Como, Italy, 28 July - 02 August 2019

    The focus of this summer institute is to integrate empirical and theoretical knowledge across disciplines with the aim to understand in different contexts -- from extensive data analyses and modeling approaches to clinical practice -- how diverse physiological systems and subsystems dynamically interact to produce health and disease. This will be an interactive event with lectures ranging from physics, applied mathematics and biomedical engineering to neuroscience, physiology and clinical medicine, covering a range of physiologic systems from the cellular to the organ level, and will discuss the challenges, current frontiers and future developments in the emerging field of Network Physiology.

    The institute will address a diverse audience of graduate students, postdocs, research scientists and faculty across a broad range of disciplines and fields, and will provide opportunities for the researchers to exchange new ideas and viewpoints, forge new collaborations and train the next generation of young scientists.

  • The session "Machine learning adaptations for Earth monitoring", organized by Nicolas Brodu and Frédéric Frappart, has been accepted as part of the EGU General Assembly of 2016 :
    (web site).
    The call for abstract is now open, for topics covering all use of machine learning applied to Earth Sciences, especially feature extraction from very large environmental data sets. The European Geosciences Union is a non-profit international organisation and Europe’s premier geosciences union. It manages a portfolio of 17 scientific journals. Its annual General Assembly is the largest and most prominent European geosciences event, attracting over 11,000 scientists from all over the world. The meeting’s sessions cover a wide range of topics, including volcanology, planetary exploration, the Earth’s internal structure and atmosphere, climate, as well as energy and resources.
    Session Abstract:
    Sensors on-board satellites combines many sources of information, like multispectral and radar images, microwave brightness temperatures and emissivities, radar scatterometry, etc. When combined with in situ measurements, properly exploiting this wide variety of data sources, of heterogeneous temporal and spatial resolutions, become a challenge. Moreover, typical applications like land use occupation or changes detection caused by natural and anthropogenic phenomenon (e.g., flood, fires, forest logging), rely on automated inference at some point. Although generic Machine Learning (ML) techniques are well-established, their general framework is not necessary relevant for environmental applications. For example, how to deal with scales ranging from local measurements to the swath of the satellite ; accounting for the spatial consistency between nearby samples in ML algorithms ; or including the known seasonal and interannual variations to build better time series descriptors. Similarly, the physics of observed phenomena need to be incorporated into ML frameworks for accurate modeling and predictions. Therefore, this session calls for abstracts on how to best apply ML methods in Earth Science contexts. The goal is to promote exchanges and ideas on ML techniques that could benefit multiple Earth Science domains and questions of interest ; domain-specific ML tricks that focus on only one particular Earth Science application may be interesting to other EGU sessions, but are here out of topic. Examples of relevant abstracts include new methodologies for data fusion (e.g. SAR/multispectral/in situ measurements), how to include physics of natural processes in feature descriptors (e.g. fluid dynamics), how ML can help interpret large data sets (e.g. automated detection of areas with different statistical properties), how multi-resolution (spatial or temporal) features help detect and deal with characteristic scales, how new features can be extracted from data sets using innovative image processing and time series analysis, etc.
