@ICRC @ITU @WMO @WorldBank @UTAustin @AnimaAnandkumar @nvidia @Ukraine @ICCVConference Following a fascinating talk by…me, we have Amir Zamir @zamir_ar speaking
to us about skull-to-face reconstruction for identifying missing person using multi-modal foundation models! Work done in conjunction with @ICRC

[Ritwik Gupta 🇺🇦 @Ritwik_G]

@ICRC @ITU @WMO @WorldBank Dr. Alexander Sun from @UTAustin joins us remotely to discuss how they do real-time flood inundation modeling using the Fourier neural operator from @AnimaAnandkumar @nvidia

[Ritwik Gupta 🇺🇦 @Ritwik_G]

@ICRC @ITU @WMO Isabelle Tingzon from @WorldBank is presenting on their work mapping buildings after recent hurricanes in the Caribbean

[Ritwik Gupta 🇺🇦 @Ritwik_G]

@ICRC Next up, Monique Kuglitsch, Chair of the @ITU/@WMO ITU/WMO Focus Group on AI for Natural Disaster Management is joining us over Zoom to talk to us about international standard in AI for disasters!

[Ritwik Gupta 🇺🇦 @Ritwik_G]

The @ICRC is using advances in AI to summarize over 2 million heterogeneous documents to provide summaries of the vast amount of data sources they handle daily.

[Ritwik Gupta 🇺🇦 @Ritwik_G]

Our workshop on AI for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response is kicking off in Room E2 @ICCVConference now with Nan Buzard from the @ICRC! Please join us in person or virtually, link at https://t.co/MM8hBAL2gL @CSProfKGD

[Robin R Murphy @robinrmurphy]

One of the biggest challenges in using #drones for #hurricanes is not flying- it's managing the data-to-decision problem: getting the right data to the right person at the right times so that they can make the right decision to save lives and accelerate recovery.

@SciRobotics Thank you to the coauthors of this work and co-organizers of this event @robinrmurphy, Eric Heim, Caleb Robinson, @gzco, @Ritwik_G! (7/7)

[Thomas Manzini @Tom_Manzini]

Yesterday @SciRobotics published our focus piece on how #artificialintelligence and #robotics are used to respond to large scale disasters and humanitarian crises and discussing how technologists and responders should approach collaboration. (1/7) https://t.co/bzSL8EA9Pq
