Doing an Ultrasound Scan of the Sun with AI
August 3, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
This lecture is part of the Monash Conversations on AI and Data Science series, which focuses on the impactful AI/data science research being done by Monash University researchers. The series is run by the Monash Data Futures Institute.
Speaker: Dr Alina Donea, School of Mathematics, Monash University
Abstract
In the scenario of a strong solar coronal mass ejection, we would only receive a mere 30-minute warning before an immense solar event, which could have devastating consequences for our satellite technology and society. Regrettably, this limited timeframe does not allow for the activation of emergency protocols or the implementation of practical measures.
To enhance our preparedness and minimize the potential impact, it is imperative to strive for significantly longer warning periods. It is essential that we lend our ears to the Sun’s messages. In this session, Dr Alina Donea will demonstrate the utilization of solar images (generated by AI and a deep neural network, referring to conditional Generative Adversarial Network (sGAN)) to enhance predictions of solar activity from the side of the Sun that is not visible, leading to significant advancements in space weather forecasting.
