| Four main activities are identified:
| | | title_col2 = Events |
| # Disseminate knowledge on techniques and applications. Especially to transmit know-how between users with different levels of experience and training, and from one domain of earth surface science to another. The aim is to make uptake of ML more efficient/time-effective for new entrants, and then extend the sophistication of applications to Earth Surface Dynamics Modeling (ESDM).
| | | text_col2 = Stay up to date on the latest research or present your own numerical breakthroughs at one of the events listed for you. Or advertise your event to the broader AI&ML community. |
| # Foster the community using the email list, workshops, newsletter, tweets, generating proposals, (?)Github worked examples, etc.
| | | btn_2_text = Events |
| # Create an ideas/examples data-space on CSDMS pages for feature layers, preferably continent- or world-wide. This is probably the single most useful component for the membership because conceiving and making suitable training/testing feature layers for ML is a creative process.

| == Activities ==
| |
| # '''[[Form:Annualmeeting2019| May 2019 Annual Meeting of CSDMS]]''' - coming up, with two keynote talks on ML projects, and a plenary panel meeting on the topic, lead by researchers with publications in the field.
| |
| # '''[[AIML_Conversations| AI&ML Conversation Portal using Twitter and Google Groups]]''' - released 20th March 2019 for members can interact and learn from each other. Use the conversation in the portal to guide CSDMS directions in this modeling technology.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Background ==
| |
| A beginning to the activities took place on 24 May 2018 in the CSDMS Annual Meeting with a forum to decide whether to create an Initiative Group and then on the courses of action. Creation of the group was voted for overwhelmingly. The forum was convened by Chris Jenkins and Jeff Obelcz and attended by over 40 people.
| |
| | |
| Title: "With Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning - What Lies Ahead for Earth Surface Modeling ?"
| |
| | |
| The proceedings are available online through CSDMS: [https://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/AIandML Wiki], [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZA67j0voFQEjQjaGvmzW9pI_zD05ZUdQ Agenda] and [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FbiSquHOb813kjmVSrDY14fBeZr9beXo Notes]. Following that the CSDMS Executive decided to form an Initiative Group as a matter of urgency within the Cyber Working Group, but which may be rearranged in the CSDMS structure at a future time.
| |
| | |
| Four main questions were put to meeting:
| |
| # What can AI and ML currently do that might benefit Earth Surface Dynamics Modeling ?
| |
| # What is the relationship between Process Modelling and AI/ML ?
| |
| # How should CSDMS Community Respond to the Appearance of AI/ML
| |
| # What Earth Surface Dynamics Modeling-related tasks are not suited for AI/ML? Why?
