Discussant: Francesco Finazzi (Università di Bergamo)
Room: T30
Floor: ground
Short summary: This session is about the use of machine learning and deep learning methods as an alternative to (or integrated with) standard approaches for environmental data, such as for example kriging and spatial point pattern models. These new approaches are appreciated thanks to their flexibility and can be useful for modeling complex spatial or spatio-temporal data. However, some concerns remain with respect to interpretability and uncertainty quantification.
