Identify Contrails to Reduce Global Warming
Kaggle Competition Recap

Come hear about the recently completed Google Research - Identify Contrails to Reduce Global Warming competition on Kaggle. This free, virtual meetup will discuss the successful approaches used in this image segmentation competition.

From Kaggle:
Contrails are clouds of ice crystals that form in aircraft engine exhaust. They can contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Researchers have developed models to predict when contrails will form and how much warming they will cause. However, they need to validate these models with satellite imagery. Your work will help researchers improve the accuracy of their contrail models. This will help airlines avoid creating contrails and reduce their impact on climate change.

Ryan Chesler is a 2x Kaggle Grandmaster. He is an organizer of the San Diego Machine Learning meetup and a Data Scientist working for H2O.ai.
