Tornadoes (and how not to predict them)This is an announcement for the Pizza Seminar, a new grad student
initiative where PhD students present to each other over a free lunch.
Talks can be a chance to present something from your research of general
interest, practice a conference presentation, or just tell us about
something interesting. After all, we all spend a lot of time doing CS;
might as well inform everyone else what you do!The talk will take place in the grad student lounge (JCL 273) on Monday,
October 22. The presenter for this week will be Brian Hempel,Tornadoes (and how not to predict them)
What are tornadoes? How do they form? How do you predict them? Can
computers help? As a wannabe chaser, I’ll explain my view on tornadoes,
tornado chasing, and tornado prediction. I will also explain my
understanding of the limiting factors in small-scale weather prediction,
and will discuss my failures in throwing machine learning at the problem.
