Initial attack models for triage & Fire suppressant drop impact
The MLAI Meetup is a community for AI researchers and professionals which hosts monthly talks on exciting research. Our format is:
* 6:00 - 6:20: Socializing
* 6:20 - 6:40: Announcements and AI news
* 6:40 - 7:40: Talk(s) and Q&A
* 7:40 - 8:00 Networking
* 8:00: Head to the nearest pub for dinner
**Elena Tartaglia: "Do initial attack models work for triage?"**
**Talk description:** Initial attack refers to the first set of firefighting actions undertaken at a newly reported fire, with the aim to control the fireās spread. When multiple fires are reported and resources constrained, decisions need to be made about triaging fires for an escalated response. We developed empirical initial attack models for grass and forest fires for the specific purpose of triaging fires. Using a recently developed dataset of spreading fires, we tested three statistical modelling techniques to estimate the probability of unsuccessful initial attack. We assessed the models' performance and how practical it would be to use them in an operational setting using statistical techniques and case studies. In this talk, we will discuss how the models have limited skill overall and are unable to distinguish fires where bottlenecks affect the initial attack suppression. We will highlight the importance of taking an application specific approach to developing and validating initial attack models. A preprint of this work can be found on [bioRxiv](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.31.668020v2).
**Speaker bio:** Dr Elena Tartaglia is a Principal Data Scientist at the Victorian government Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, where she has worked for the past three years in Bushfire and Forest Services (BFS). BFS works to keep Victorians and the things they care about safe from bushfires, through land management actions and by responding to bushfires on public land. Elena and her team use statistics and machine learning to support data-driven decision-making in BFS. Elena is also the current President of the Victorian and Tasmanian Branch of the Statistical Society of Australia.
**Ping Siriamnat: "Impact of fire suppressant drops on fire severity"**
**Talk description:** One of the common suppression methods of bushfires is aerial drops, but there is limited research on its effectiveness. Aerial drops refer to aircraft flying over a fire and droping water or fire suppressant to slow or stop the spread of the fire. Through the National Aerial Firefighting Centre, aircraft attending to bushfires in Australia are tracked, so we have data on when and where drops were done, along with what type of suppressant was used and how much. In this project, we investigated the impact of drops on fire severity by measuring the association between drops and fire severity level, as calculated by the Arthur Rylah Institute, accounting for the influence of terrain steepness and land cover characteristics.
**Speaker bio:** Ping Siriamnat is a Master of Business Analytics graduate (Monash University) and previously interned at DEECA in the DAIS Data Science team. Across his projects, he applies statistical methods and machine learning models, alongside his business acumen, to transform data into actionable insights. He has a strong interest in market analytics, business strategy, and applying data science to uncover opportunities and improve the performance of strategic decisions.

How is it that you can Help kids or yourself to become a better student!
Too many kids as well as teenagers and adults have problems with study.
Today's meetup will inform you about the basics in STUDY TECHNOLOGY that provides an understanding of the basics of learning and supplies exact ways to overcome all the pitfalls one can encounter during study. This is applicable to young children, teenagers (or their parents that are trying to help them) and adults alike.
Study Technology shows how one studies in order to comprehend a subject so one can apply it. Laws on which learning is based and workable methods have also been discovered for anyone to apply for themselves or when teaching others.
Too many students graduate from school and college unable to put to use what theyāve learned in school.
Itās not that theyāre stupid or that their teachers didnāt know how to teach.
More than likely it traces back to the one thing missing from most educationsālearning how to learn in the first place.
We all went to school, yet isnāt it odd that no one taught us how to study?
The information presented at this meetup can help anyone improve others or his own ability to learn.
It is a practical tool that parents and teachers alike can use to enhance a child's study performance. Youāll learn the barriers that lie between your own or a child's education.
And you will very quickly learn how to overcome them.
This technology will enable you or a child to pursue any subject with skill and confidence.
Teachers who have "hard to handle/distributive " or slow learners in class will absolutely love the amazing turn around most often seen in improved behaviour and student performance in class.
If you or your child has difficulties at school (or learning new things at work or online) than this meetup is important to you.
If you can not make it to our meetup than contact the organizer and arrange it to suit your time.
This technology can if one was to live far away be taught online. (extension course)
You may offcourse also opt to have this technology taught to your own child by experienced volunteeer staff or learn about this yourself and transfer this knowledge to those you want to have better grades.
Yes it is possible to improve anyone's study performance. All it takes is just 5 steps.
See you at this meetup.

ThoughtstormĀ® Session Topic: International Day of Play, Yarraville
Would you like to enhance your creativity, confidence and increase your awareness? Weād love you to join us to ThoughtstormĀ® the topic International Day of Play in the warm, friendly environment of the Yarraville Community Centre.
How Thoughtstorm came about
Thoughtstorm is a technique developed from a seed of speculation: are there more effective (rational, cooperative, compassionate) ways of thinking? Methods whose long-term consequences will not lead to oblivion. This is the genesis of Thoughtstorm.
What is it?
For anyone with an interest in leadership, deeper conversations or creative problem solving, something much more than a group discussion occurs. What is experienced in Thoughtstorm is a forgotten sensory ability - mind-linking. An evolution in human thinking and learning.
The direction moves from a narrow range of possibility into discovering corecepts, when individual minds merge into a much more powerful collective awareness and experience a deeper, more compassionate comprehension of reality. Corecepts trigger intuitive recognition and agreement by the group, a āWhy, of course!ā reaction.
New insights guaranteed!
Because this process taps into abilities already present in the human mind and into aggregates of consciousness straining to express themselves, very little practice is required.
Would you like to see and understand things in a way that is new for all of us? Would you like to develop your consciousness and your creative intelligence? Would you like to be inspired to create positive change?
Then come and join us to Thoughtstorm together.
If itās your first time to Thoughtstorm, please RSVP early to give plenty of time to arrange a brief prep call on Zoom to go over the Thoughtstorm procedures so we can all get started on time together.
**Agenda:**
2pm - Arrive, meet and greet, read over Thoughtstorm instructions
2.15pm - Begin the Thoughtstorm
3.15pm - Finish
When you RSVP we will be in touch with the details.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Watch Backrooms at Reading Cinema Dandenong
If you are on TikTok like I am, or you are around kids who know about all the latest crap that comes up on the internet like skibbidy toilets and what not, then you've probably heard of the Backrooms...
Well now there's a movie. I'm very curious to see what they do with the concept.
I wanted to go see this Friday night, but the only session time is at 9.30pm and you know, I don't want to be in Dandenong at 11pm on a Friday night waiting at a station to catch a bus or a train. So Sunday afternoon it is!
Let me know if you're definitely coming and we can buy tickets ahead of time in the same seating area.
As always, there is the option to have snacks/coffee afterwards at Dandenong Square (no longer Dandenong Plaza).
