ELIAS Series is a seminar series designed specifically to support junior researchers by exploring diverse career paths within the double scope of Sustainable AI and AI for Sustainability. This first session is on AI & Sustainability: Spotlight on Diverse Career Trajectories.

Speaker: Claire Monteleoni (AI Research for Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability – INRIA Paris)

Talk: Generative AI for Climate and Weather

The stunning recent advances in frontier AI models rely on cutting-edge, generative deep learning algorithms and architectures trained on massive amounts of text, image, and video data. With different training data, these algorithms and architectures can benefit a variety of applications for addressing climate change. As opposed to text and video, the relevant training data includes weather and climate data from observations, reanalyses, and even physical simulations.

Many applications aimed at addressing climate change hinge on fundamental challenges of data fusion, interpolation, downscaling, and probabilistic domain alignment. Claire Monteleoni will provide a survey of recent work developing generative AI methods for these problems, with applications including weather forecasting, climate model emulation and scenario interpolation, and renewable energy planning.
