Abstract: 

Recent advances in machine learning techniques such as deep learning (DL) has rejuvenated data-driven analysis in aerospace and integrated building systems. DL algorithms have been successful due to the availability of large volumes of data and its ability to learn the features during the learning process. In spite of tremendous success of DL in technology companies, it’s applications to aerospace and building systems has been limited. This talk identifies the unique challenges these industries face and demonstrates the need for data-efficient machine learning, and context-aware machine learning with compelling use cases and results.
