Space-Time AI for Smart Cities - Tao Cheng
More than half of the world’s population are now living in urban areas placing city infrastructures under increasing pressure. With the development of IoT and mobile technology, cities and people are more connected than ever which generated large volume of geolocated and time stamped (space-time) data. This talk will show cases of making use of AI and deep learning in analysing these space-time data to gain insight of people and places, in order to deliver intelligent service and government towards smart cities.
