[Geo4All] GISRUK Online Seminar Series 2021 - Wednesday 3rd November 2021

[Peter Mooney]

Dear members of the GeoForAll mailing list,

As the GISRUK Seminar Series Chair it gives me great pleasure to let you
know about the following seminar. This seminar will be of interest to many
members of the GeoForAll community.

The GISRUK (GIS Research UK) committee are delighted to announce the second
seminar in the GISRUK Online Seminar Series 2021 where we welcome *Dr. Song
Gao <https://geography.wisc.edu/profile.php?p=1197>* (Director of
Geospatial Data Science Lab, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) who will
talk about "GeoAI for Human Mobility Analytics and Location Privacy
Protection". The seminar will take place, online, on Wednesday 3rd November
2021 at 15:00 – 16:00 UK Time.

The registration link can be found on the Seminar Series homepage

Seminar Summary

We have witnessed recent advances in Geospatial Artificial Intelligence
(GeoAI), which is the integration of geospatial technologies and AI,
especially using machine learning and deep learning methods for geographic
knowledge discovery and beyond. The increasing location-based services have
generated large-scale individual-level trajectory data through mobile phone
tracking, wearable sensors, GPS devices, and social media. Those trajectory
big data provide new opportunities to study multiscale human mobility
patterns and human-place interactions. It also introduces grand challenges
regarding the protection of geoprivacy and broader implications. In this
talk, Dr. Gao will present his research group’s latest research efforts on
human mobility analytics and protecting user location privacy using various
GeoAI approaches (e.g., using recurrent neural networks, generative
adversarial networks, and graph convolutional networks).

This online event is completely free to attend but registration in advance
is essential. Registered participants will receive joining details (Zoom
link, seminar format, etc.) via email before the event.
